"A boca de incendio" invokes the fury of our times, but also the warmth of the tongue that heralds hope; it navigates through memories and ruins from which life resurfaces. The artworks function as the unsettling power (of a mouth) that seeks to contain the world's ardor. The visual thought here is whisper and delirium: it is—in a simultaneous image—that almost inaudible manifesto (beautiful and confusing) and, at the same time, the disturbing hallucination (urgent and scandalous). The exhibition urges us to "open our eyes" (like a command), to be present before aesthetics that strip us of indifference to realities that demand a more conscious existence. What does it mean to inhabit this world together? We are all the deaths we have survived and all the lives yet to be lived.
