Artwork in collection: Inhotim

Enamored by Laura Belém

Enamored, 2004

Two rowboats equipped with searchlights signal to one another on the water. There is an automatically repeated cycle with the lights on and off alternately for 20 seconds, coinciding with each other for 20 seconds, and then going off.

The work was exhibited for the first time in 2004 at Pampulha Lake (Belo Horizonte, Brazil), in 2005 at the 51st Venice Biennale (Venice, Italy), and in 2022 it was incorporated into the collection of the Inhotim Museum (Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil).
