Laughing Heartily

Part of the Artist's Notebook collection, this publication documents the creative process of the namesake work, commissioned for the "Brasil do Futuro" exhibition during the 2023 presidential inauguration. The book details the performative act that established the "Decree of Laughter"—an official document signed by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva—and the conception of the video installation, articulating laughter as an aesthetic and political strategy.

Metaphotography: Ways of Historiographing

Part of the Artist's Notebook collection, this publication systematizes the concepts of metaphotography and historiographing (estoriografar). The theoretical framework emerges from an analysis of the work João and Carlos (2022), created for the exhibition "Brasília, enfim." The book examines how this piece—a pioneer in the use of generative artificial intelligence within Brazilian museums—employs synthetic imagery as a device to reinvent the archive and fabulate new historical narratives.

Dragon Abundant Forest – CCJF

The exhibition catalogue for Dragon Abundant Forest, held at the Centro Cultural Justiça Federal, documents the work developed during a residency at the Central Academy of Fine Arts (CAFA) in Beijing, at the invitation of the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Itamaraty). The title is derived from the Chinese name given to the artist, Long Peisen (Dragon, Abundant, Forest). The publication brings together works that articulate the intersections between Brazil and China, exploring craft traditions and the symbolism of the color red, while weaving together the history of Brazilwood (Pau-Brasil) and Eastern iconography.

Labirinto

O catálogo documenta a exposição Labirinto, realizada no Palácio das Artes, em Belo Horizonte, sob curadoria de Cinara Barbosa. A publicação apresenta a série que articula a biografia familiar à tradição da renda labirinto da Paraíba. Ao imprimir retratos de parentes sobre linho e submetê-los à intervenção das rendeiras, a obra opera uma reparação simbólica, onde o bordado renegocia e reconstrói os laços de uma história fragmentada.

A série Bibliomancia, iniciada em 2013, apropria-se da antiga prática oracular homônima que consiste em abrir livros aleatoriamente para buscar presságios em trechos sorteados. Guiado por esse acaso, o artista intervém em volumes garimpados imprimindo autorretratos diretamente sobre as páginas reveladas, estabelecendo um diálogo imprevisto e por vezes irônico entre a sua própria imagem e o conteúdo textual preexistente. Nessas obras, o livro atuar como um corpo escultórico e um relicário aberto, onde a fusão entre a mancha gráfica da palavra e a figura humana gera novas narrativas.
