An intellectual is like a shipwreck person wholearns how to live in a certain sense with the land, not on it, not likeRobinson Crusoe whose goal is to colonize his little island, but more likeMarco Polo, whose sense of marvelous never fails him, and who is always atraveler, a provisional guest.

(EdwardSaid)

My work is anexperimental and intellectually complex investigation of language and culturaltranslation. It is presented in avariety of media, ranging from installation to video, from photography toparticipatory art.

I think ofculture and identity through the Heraclitus' river where systems arepromiscuous, unstable and contextual. Language and nation become a fluid patchquilt of chance meetings, fueled by unpredictable and uncontainable forces, likedesire. I am interested in the Selfas a process not an entity.

I collaborate with different people tomap our time; to actively provide an account of life that is engaged with thelarger cultural discourse. Todo art that is more than a style or brand, but that is a contextual articulatorof the present.

My work is impure, multidisciplinary: it makes life into mythology andfiction into experience.

I wander: a foreigner now, as a Brazilian livingin the United States, or maybe just a foreigner still, as a gay man. There isno Ithaca to go back. About this Aegeanroom that I rent, so close and so far, within and without, I can only tell youthat if the price is steep, the view is great.
