ANA DIAS BATISTA

Swallowed Characters: Collection, 2023

Arco Escola Cooperativa, São Paulo.

A new category inserted into the bibliographic classification of a middle school's library, based on an arbitrary affinity - the presence of swallowed characters, related to a particular event: a cake that had been prepared in school and served to the school community representing an animal that had eaten an animal that had eaten another animal. The Swallowed Characters Collection has incorporated books from other sections of the library such as Literary theory, Mythology, Sciences, Legends and folklore, Literature, Religion, exempting itself from the always unsuccessful task of compartmentalizing knowledge.

“Campo em Obra” Residence.

Curated by Claudio Cretti, Flora Leite and Frederico Ravioli.
