Fragile is an installation produced in São Paulo, Brazil, and presented as part of the group exhibition Le Mal de Vivre at Gallery Daeppen, Basel, in 2014.
The work grew out of the experience of moving between countries: leaving behind places, memories and unfinished fragments while accumulating new impressions and experiences.
Sculptures, objects and the wooden crates used to transport the work from Brazil to Switzerland come together as part of the installation. The crates are not simply packaging, but become part of the work and its story.
Impressions of Brazilian society, rituals and street life are reflected in the figures and objects.
The sculptures are made of resin, marble, calcite and ceramics.
