If I had to describe briefly the two works by Luciana Lamothe set out in the Itaú Cultural Area, defined as the pure suspense.
One of them is wooden planks overlapping each other, which are subject to the wall at one end, some distance from the floor and finishes with a very angular. The weight has on the opposite end is such that it generates a feeling of instability, and why not of fear, that the structure does not resist, it may fall at any moment and go through a foot for example, which does not seems very unlikely.
The other piece is an old orange cartel bank, several feet long, hanging from the cross-shaped roof and pointing toward the door, dividing the exhibition space in half. Lamothe
These works can be compared to the effect that causes a horror movie, where when we see it all the time we spend waiting for the imminent of a terrible event is about to happen when you least expect, and we hold our breath as if we avoid triggering event.
If any of the ropes holding the sign was cut, was to be sent at full speed towards the door and shatter the glass to pieces. We also have the feeling that if we supported just one finger on the trailing end of the wooden board, it would not withstand the weight disproportionate and would be broken in half.
feels tension in the air since you enter the room and burdensome and threatening perceive the installation on your head. Nothing comfortable positions for the viewer.
Interesting metaphor for violence contained, tied with wire, which can be triggered with minimal movement and generate excessive consequences.
Lamothe, an artist whose actions and videos many times bordering on vandalism, presented here, made especially works that have a juggernaut in the truest sense of the word might suggest.
