Marepe
by Marco Del Fiol
Brasil 2006, 22′
Presented at The Player. Viaggio nelle passioni contemporanee 2014
The first Brazilian artist to obtain a one-man show at the Centre Pompidou, Marepe was born in 1970, at Santo Antônio de Jesus, in the Recôncavo Baiano region. His research is based on the elaboration of local traditions, from the history and objects for everyday use typical of his homeland, in order to make sculptures capable of calling into question the institutional status of a work of art while at the same time investing these commonplace objects with an almost spiritual value.
