Ainda quero mergulhar na distância
07.11.2026 – 09.01.2027
Almeida & Dale, Rua Fradique Coutinho 1430, São Paulo, Brazil
Rebeca Carapiá’s first exhibition at Almeida & Dale, with a critical essay by curator Cindy Sissokho: a new body of sculptures ranging from proportions similar to trees or the human body down to scales close to the size of hands.
The works stem from the artist’s investigations into materials, particularly iron and copper, and the elements that allow her to twist, bend and join these metals: air and fire, as well as those associated with Cidade Baixa in Salvador. The landscape serves as a common thread connecting territories and experiences, including her recent residency at the Cité internationale des Arts in Paris and her life in São Paulo.
The exhibition presents developments of the series Como criar raízes aéreas, shown at the 36th Bienal de São Paulo, which in turn grew out of Apenas depois da chuva at Inhotim, when the artist began investigating the paxiúba, the walking palm.
