By Arthur Moreau and Sheila Ribeiro, around Small Collection of Everything (Pequena Coleção de Todas as Coisas).
Or “How I made a dance for my mother to make for me”.
Accumulating objects, doubts, movements, games, memories, wishes, and also mixing all these things in joyful, agonic, deranged or vertiginous dynamics.
Interpreted by the children Carla Stankk, Laura Samy, Lindon Shimizu and Renato Linhares, Small Collection of Everything points at and messes up ordering a little all the options we have to name or acknowledge afflictions and pleasures of what may tear us apart and tighten us up.
“Mooooooooooom, you are aaaaaaaall of this Coca-Cola!! LOL.” (dialog extracted from the internet of a mother out there talking about her daughter)
The naughty are dressed all colorfully.
Everything is colorful.
Five colors or more.
The objects, each has a predominant color.
utilities + industrial functions (?) + sensitive potential + something else
Clothes, the Christmas tree, the brushes, the cotton swabs, the mattress, they cross everything and everyone.
Words, the memories, the letters, the futures are made present by their dance. Their lines, easygoing and “cariocas”, articulate and disarticulate the games of those who accumulate.
“- Mommy, I can’t. Today I have God here in my bedroom sleeping with me. And I’m taking care for you not to step on Him.” (dialog extracted from the internet of a mother out there talking about her daughter)
The exercise of experimenting and experiencing what one can do, Dani Lima!
Do you open possibilities that you don’t know when will be repeated, even partially?
Responsibility for a useless end . selected accumulations, edited, filtered. Collection and editing.
