There are "missing pieces" in contemporary Brazilian culture. When I started collecting the pieces, I had in mind the breakdown of the indigenous diaspora and also a curiosity for local know-how. The cacaria is the result of the breakdown at the time of the expulsion of the local Indians by the white colonizer, but I really wanted to understand through these marks how the ceramic was made: what forms, what kind of clay, how the clay was smoothed and fitting of the piece?
Every shard is a virtuality, it is one, it might be possible to encounter another piece and to open new possibilities, the Cacaria Project lives on this future. But it is mostly a story of historical erasure, of custom, of know-how, of indigenous empowerment. So collecting the shards and trying to reconfigure them is one way to fight this erasure, this invisibility. Placing it in the museum indicates a fault.
Many shoes, slippers, whole and broken bottles of glass and pet, plastic, aluminum, rubber and industrial waste of all kinds. The shoes and shards are intriguing signs. It is imperative to reveal the pollution brought from the large industrial centers to the peripheral locations. Pollution of waste and diseases.
The imburana project results from my own re-approaching with a feeling of belonging, of returning to something that comes to you through the memory of expressions, smells, temperatures, textures.
