Revolver, 2014-2017
During dark times in which hand gestures making “guns” are being praised, in Revolver the annulment of these gestures is at stake; of condoning violence, encouraging the possession of firearms, disarming the gesture, disarming the word “revolver”, suppression of its acute accent in Portuguese, here, without ammunition, internal and external disarmament, its revolving: revolving the ammunition, revolving the accent, revolving the word, revolving the gesture, revolving the earth. About the work Revolver, according to Lívia Benedetti: “here, the word ‘revolver’, in addition to a firearm, also suggests going back, going back in time”.
