Fruto Estranho de Nuno Ramos
The exhibition “Strange Fruit” by the artist Nuno Ramos, curated by Vanda Klabin, held at MAM Rio de Janeiro, brings together artworks that weith together 20 tons.
The work that gives its name to the exhibition is composed of two life-size single-engine airplanes, covered in soap, which are embedded in natural tree trunks. The also new work “Worm” is formed by two spheres of packed sand from which two videos are projected onto the walls in which two actors take turns reading the text “Worm,” written by the artist. In “Monólogo para um cachorro morto” (Monolog for a dead dog), a text is engraved on the inside of five pairs of marble tombstones. On one of them, there is a video of a dead dog and the sound of the monologue written by Nuno.
