Corta Luz (2013/2018)

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Corta Luz is a project by artist Luiza Baldan carried out while in residence at Pivô/Copan building during July 2013 and later revisited in 2018. Baldan comments on her relationship with the house and routine in Republica, the so-called new downtown Sao Paulo. She focused on the metropolis’ vertical scenery and the intimacy of the building’s interiors, transcending the aesthetics of modernist achitecture’s milestones. As a procedure, the artist’s work and life are mingled in a sort of dilated performance.
