Gallery of Presidents

Self-published book developed during the Red Bull Station Artistic Residency, in the midst of the political coup in Brazil. This work is a compilation of images from galleries of presidents, from small unions to large Brazilian institutions, taken from Google Images. The book begins with a manual, edited from the Affixing and Unveiling of Portraits instructions, appropriated from the Manual for the Organization of Events of the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies and Federal Senate. Through the exacerbation of ritual, gesture, and structure, the intention is to highlight archaic vocabulary, bureaucratic aesthetics, racism, and women's subordination. The graphic design was developed in collaboration with Cachimbo Graphic Essays. This work was selected by the Zum Festival 2017 as part of the Moreira Salles Institute's collection in São Paulo.
