CAIXA Cultural São Paulo presents, from November 18, 2025 to February 15, 2026, the exhibition "Entre Ruínas: O mundo em trânsito" (Between Ruins: The World in Transit) by Marcone Moreira. Curated by Eucanaã Ferraz, the project reveals a contemporary, poetic, and fragmented Amazon.
The exhibition proposes an immersion in the visual and symbolic universe of the artist from Pará, whose work reflects the dialogue between the Amazonian landscape, popular daily life, and the tensions of a constantly transforming world. Works from different periods of the artist's career are brought together, tracing an overview of his research around materials, landscape, and the social and symbolic transformations of the Amazon.
Among the series presented are "Cruzamentos" (Intersections), compositions made from wood and screws from truck bodies, which evoke the displacement between rivers and roads, life and death, absence and presence. In "Páginas" (Pages), the artist creates chromatic arrangements with wood from weathered boats, establishing a dialogue between Brazilian constructivism and the popular Amazonian imagination.
The paintings in "Travessias" (Crossings) feature solitary figures in boats, as metaphors for the human journey between work and magic, history and myth. The "Vertebral" series presents sculptures formed from cast aluminum propellers, arranged in sinuous movements that evoke the strength and vitality of the anaconda, an ancestral symbol of the forest and the living body of nature.
"Marcone translates the Amazon not as an exotic setting, but as a symbolic and universal territory. A place of crossings, absences, and reinventions," explains the curator.
