DANCE ME
Cou-de-Pied, at Convent of São Paulo, in 2013. Dance and ballet shoes were the theme for this exhibition.
A work about the body in motion. Inspired by the Baudelaire quote—"A finished work is not necessarily finished, but a finished work is not necessarily done," so she revisited several pieces years later, embracing the unfinished as part of the process.
An element of the instep, enlarged to the scale of a human, a metaphor for what it sustains. Dance poses appear as suspended scenes: an embrace, a farewell, charged with symbolism.Each painting holds silence, in a kind of visual choreography.
António de Castro Caeiro
“Cou de pied”, the neck of the foot. It does not mean kick or toe.
Aristotle said that the head of the plants was at the root, because it is through the head that we eat .....
My body creates space and the rhythm of time, silence is not mute as there are no sudden gestures without blows, nor hands in the air without having been fallen, nor a single movement without rest.
Or is it time that outlines my toes? Because I don't abandon you. And when I dismember and stretch or curl and bend and turn around or when I step on you when I land on you or when I leave you, it is always because you and I, Oh Earth, we are a chord.
