Arapuca

"The vision of an arapuca, (ara'puka in tupi-guarani), a musical trap of indigenous origin, intended to hunt birds, anticipates multiple analogies and dead ends of life in which the artist invites us to a poetic and existential stroll. In a kind of spiral in the intersections of the mind, awakened by the magic of the camera, Fernanda invites us to a game, but it is in silence that we find ourselves facing the dilemma: Will we be hunted or hunters? - Between the gaze that desires and that which is desired, the artist takes a place of ambivalence where she is sometimes the character projected in the work, or the observer". Extract from the curatorial text by Ângela Berlinde.

Before we used to say: pretend that
this frog is stone.
And the frog was.

To be like things without mouths!
Communicating only by infusion
by adhesions
by incrustations...
Be a beast, kids,
dried leaves.
