Museum without Walls

Rigor Mortis - In this exhibition, the museum is turned into a horror movie setting, where the feeling of reality is distorted: logic falters, the body is shredded, inert objects become animated - life and death, dream and reality get confused. Creation & research: Renato Pera. 3D art: Caio Fazolin. Collaboration: Jye O'Sullivan and Marcos Pavão.

Since the Collection inherited a relatively random set of works and only recently implemented an acquisition policy, one cannot comfortably attribute to it the function of producing a historiography of art produced in the 20th century in Pernambuco. How, then, to deal with this condition?

In indigenous time there is a notion of sequence, a before and an after, but this does not imply a fixed boundary between the past and the future, which, instead of being separated by the present, would be both contained within the now.
