Paths of Parallel S15

-

These are geometric triangulations drawn in scale over sixteen locations on the map of South America, making the connection between them. Places that are synchronized through a set of historical, cultural and mystical signs. Layout that creates a South American ecocultural itinerary that I called Paths of Parallel S15

In 2003, I moved from Cuiabá to Chapada dos Guimarães, Mato Grosso, Midwest of Brazil. I lived in this municipality for eight years and, researching the histories and landscapes of the region, I elaborated the poetic project Paths of Parallel S15l.
  

Paths of Parallel S15. 2008. Photograph of the installation made at the Lookout in the Center of South America. Chapada dos Guimarães, MT,

The layout was invented from experiences and studies that choose this poetic project. It is a work that seeks to enhance environmental and cultural heritage in the interior of the country, in the center of South America and neighboring countries, for example Bolivia and Peru.



Pilot Plan of Brasília and the Condor (geoglyph) of the Nazca Plain. Both on Parallel S15.



Places like Machu Picchu, Nazca Plain, Chapada dos Guimarães, Pantanal, Chapada dos Veadeiros, Brasília, São Thomé das Letras, Caldas Novas, among others were articulated as fields of ecological and cultural forces.

The Equator line divides the planet Earth into a southern and northern hemisphere and all imaginary lines parallel to it are numbered and indicate the North (N) or South (S) position on the world map, being used as geographical coordinates. Parallel South 15 cuts the South American continent from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean in its central region. On its way, it comes across cities whose environmental and cultural heritage is of great value to humanity. Among these assets are, for example: Porto Seguro, Brasília, Pirenópolis, Goiás Velho, Serra do Roncador, Chapada dos Guimarães, Cuiabá, Vila Bela da Santíssima Trindade, Lake Titicaca and the Ica region, where the Nazca lines and geoglyphs are.

The four tetrahedra of Parallel 15 South.

Based on the survey of the most visited environmental and cultural heritage of Parallel S15, I prioritized four regions that started to appear as irregular tetrahedrons. The first tetrahedron I drew was the one in the center of South America (Route W55), the second and the third were, respectively, in the region of Brasilia and the one in Southern Peru and, finally, the one in the south of the state of Minas Gerais.

Paths of Southern Minas Gerais 
Water tetrahedron. São Thomé das Letras (Ar); Caldas Novas (Água); São Lourenço (Terra) e Poços de Caldas (Fogo). 2007 – 2020. Pastel and watercolor chalk on paper. Chapada dos Guimarães, MT - Fortaleza, CE. 29,7X42 cm.

I was able to observe what characteristics of these regions linked them to the four elements of nature - earth, fire, air and water. Within the regions, also using the tetrahedron, the logic of colors and elements is repeated for the localities. This connection led me to research the pentagram and its colors:

Green - earth element region - Brasília (power, monuments) and surroundings;

Red - region of the fire element - Cuiabá (light, heat) and surroundings;

Yellow - air element region - Cuzco and surroundings (altitude, mountains);

Blue - water element region - Caldas Novas and surroundings (warm curative waters);

White of the contiguous regions, alluding to the element ether - localities that constitute, but can also prolong the force field of the great tetrahedron formed by the lines that connect the four smaller tetrahedrons composed from the idea of ​​the four elements. I mention some of these places: Lagoa Santa de Goiás (land region); Pantanal of Mato Grosso; Salar de Uyuni the Turquoise Lagoons and the small lakes of altitude (air region); city ​​of Ouro Preto and Guapé in Minas Gerais (water region) etc.

The Parallel Paths S15 lead to the creation of an integration, an ether (ethereal) tetrahedron, formed by the four irregular tetrahedrons.

For me, these paths can be taken in the way that people's imagination and creativity allow, however, each of the four regions allows the planning of hikes of up to 200 km each.

I Mostra Absurda de Artes Visuais

O mundo nos chega através dos sentidos. São imagens, texturas, temperaturas, sabores, sons e odores que  atravessam a pele, dissolvem-se nas mucosas, tamborilam dentro de nós pequeníssimos ossos. Atiçam um universo de impulsos. Incorpóreas e indestrutíveis, até mesmo as ideias se traduzem em matéria sensível para emergirem na consciência. Dentro de nós, um outro mundo que olha, tateia, fareja e elabora. Que conecta e desconecta, e cria. Do atravessamento furioso, a arte. Nesta I Mostra Absurda de Artes Visuais, o som e a fúria do encontro entre dezoito artistas em sua diversidade e o mundo que os atravessa: Identidade, ancestralidade, resistências, confluências e a potência do cotidiano em sua contrabanalidade.

I am part of a generation that experienced the emergence of video games (arcade) as a child, that experimented with both the analog camera and the popularization of the digital camera, that went from tiping datylography to computer typing, that learned how to operate a computer with MS-DOS and later learned Windows, that did the final paper of the graduation course, in 1998, on   Cyberlaw  etc. In this path, of cyber life, I started to make my first artistic works using an IBM PC in 1996, but it was in the early 2000s that I produced my first exhibitions mixing technology and artistic ancestry. I made some installations with objects and people on the scanner and the scans unfolded into prints, projections, etc. I used the first versions of Adobe Photoshop software, especially version 4.0, to do the treatment and small interferences on the images. These versions of Photoshop contained plug-ins or artistic filters that allowed me to put in some works floating drops, textures and braids.
