Installation with steel piano string and Pau Marfim

A steel piano string tensioned by two wooden bridges and installed directly on the wall. In this work, the artist creates a sound apparatus with the minimum possible elements. The work silently manifests the latent sound and at the same time approaches the abstraction of the drawing where two points form a line in space.

It was produced especially for the artist’s solo exhibition Universo Invisível held at the Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade de São Paulo in 2021, curated and critically written by Helouise Costa.
