Unit 3 - Proposal Research - Ernesto Neto: Force of the Forest. Installation assemblage


“It is important to create space for people to interact. When people lay down, they may begin to talk with each other, without knowing one another and it is a healing process. The spirit of the interaction of the work is very important for me and for the Brazilian tradition. The spirit of interaction is in the samba, people playing music, dancing together, everybody doing the same together. For the indigenous people, the most important is the drive, to be here on this planet.” Ernesto Neto, Louisiana Channel, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, 2021.


During lockdown public spaces became even more important. Also places to just be both inside and outside, somehow this still feels like domestic space, a place to feel safe, to learn, to dwell, to grow.


I would like to experiment with images closer to my own domestic and culural background the woods and glades of my childhood that were part of my everyday.
