Reproductions of “artworks” which come with a glossary create a new perspective, add another meaning, or simply mix up the first meaning when facing what was initially appropriated by the artist.

Dja Guata Porã exhibition, Museu de Arte do Rio, 2017-8.

What happens then in the future if an artist, collector or gallery wishes to re-exhibit an artwork where the original equipment has not been collected or the equipment required is entirely obsolete and unavailable?

David Hall, A Situation Envisaged: The Rite II, 1989-90. VR simulation presented at NEoN Festival, Dundee, Scotland, 2017. VR model by Rhoda Ellis, curated by Adam Lockhart (© Estate of David Hall/Rhoda Ellis/University of Dundee).

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.

Today, the ruins of houses and collective equipments that were destroyed became part of the museum's collection and of what the residents call a memory route, along which several signs were installed to evoke spaces that existed in Vila Autódromo before the evictions.
