This work is part of the exhibition Moderno Tropical - 08/27 to 09/17/2022 - Casa Diária
In Moderno Tropical, Raphael Dias's gaze delves into in-depth research on the iconic Capanema Building - the former Ministry of Education - a historic modernist landmark that carries with it other sources of Brazilian representation, such as the dozens of works of art - from paintings to tapestries - inside.
By rescuing these images - all of which have been kept from the public eye, as the building has been closed since 2014 - Raphael uses his gaze to explore each room and each sign of the project, celebrating their shapes in new compositions -
represented in their works.
