Sallisa Rosa : topografia da memória = topography of memory / comissionado por Audemars Piguet Contemporary.
Publication details: São Paulo Pinacoteca, 2023Description: [44] pages : illustrations ; 18 cmSubject(s): Summary: Sallisa Rosa's first large installation composed mainly of ceramic sculptures, addressing issues linked to memory, ancestry, landscape and land erosion. The installation draws an imaginary landscape: more than 100 hand-molded collected clay pieces create an immersive experience for the public to explore. The sculptures on the floor are shaped like stalagmites, creating a kind of cave, while spherical sculptures hang from the ceiling in the exhibition space, in a composition that resembles a planetarium and symbolically embraces the infinity of the cosmos. With this work, Sallisa's goal is to explore collective forms of remembrance, establishing a connection between the erosion of land and the erosion of memory. Her use of collected clay, which values traditional knowledge and preserves non-industrial working methods, plays a fundamental role in her production, as the artist believes that ceramics have the symbolic capacity to store memory and help us remember.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | |
