/Describe reimagines vintage postcards through AI. Original images were fed into Midjourney to generate text descriptions, which were then used to recreate new versions of the scenes. The AI-generated prompt was handwritten on the back of each postcard — the space once reserved for personal travel notes — creating a triptych of original image, prompt, and AI reinterpretation that reveals the gaps and distortions in how machines "see" and describe
The performance took place during the exhibition Lapso, curated by Estilara and produced by Caroço Project at Casa Réstia. Jonas Sanson and Monica Hirano performed a live, silent correspondence built as a continuous cycle of writing and erasing. The action began with a simple gesture: a single sheet of paper receives a message written in pencil; it is folded, placed in an envelope, sealed, stamped, and handed to the other performer. The receiver opens the envelope, reads the message once, erases what was written with a rubber eraser, and writes back on the same sheet, keeping the conversation on the same support and repeating this back-and-forth movement. Through the repeated friction of the eraser, the sheet became increasingly worn, until it reached the material limit of the paper — which marked the end of the performance.
Frames from online videos, printed, placed inside physical picture frames and re-photographed as objects. The frame interrupts the flow of the feed and converts the frames into portraits. Scenes that are sometimes absurd, yet pass almost unnoticed while scrolling through social media, gain evidence within the confinement of the picture frame.
"Morbo" is a frenetic film built from AI-generated imagery, journeying through a city's streets where celebration and chaos, love and violence, sit side by side. Set to an original urban soundtrack, it confronts the blurred lines between order and collapse, asking what it means to be human in a world where conflict is scrolled past and reduced to likes.
"Torre Arquivada" builds a panoptic tower out of books, turning a personal library — inherited from Monica Hirano's father — into a critique of education as an instrument of discipline and control. By reshaping obsolete print archives into rigid structure, the work confronts memory, accumulation, and the growing weight of digital waste behind our physical ruins.
Inventário Coletiva is a durational performance by artists from PF Casa de Estudos, held at @macrobarepista. A repetitive workflow explores banal objects through registration, cataloguing and continuous organization in an assembly line that brings common objects to the foreground, until this newly attributed importance wears off again once they are displayed together in the exhibition space. The action questions the logic of exhaustive effort applied to what is not necessarily urgent.
A series of AI-generated images based on everyday scenes observed but not photographed in the streets of Curitiba. Recreated in the aesthetic of Google Street View, the images simulate automated captures of moments that were never recorded, existing between memory, reconstruction, and document.
