Suspendre el Cel by Caio Reisewitz

From September 18 to October 10, 2024, Caio Reisewitz will transform the Mies van der Rohe Pavilion into a platform to address urgent issues affecting Brazil, such as the destruction of the Amazonia, the dismantling of the public machinery responsible for protecting and valuing the environment, as well as the cultural erasure and genocide of indigenous populations.

The title "Suspendre el cel" (to suspend the sky) is inspired by the thinking of activist shamans Davi Kopenawa and Ailton Krenak, advocates of a more harmonious relationship with the earth and the interconnection between all living beings. It alludes to the Yanomami worldview, which believes that the earth arose from a piece of the sky and that, if man forgets ancestral knowledge and destroys it, the sky will fall again.
