Eu, Você e a Lua (You, Me and the Moon, 2015) at the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo (Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo)

For the first time in Brazil, the installation Eu, Você e a Lua (You, Me and the Moon, 2015) by Tunga, well-known Brazilian artist, is being presented. This piece was one of his latest works and is exhibited at the Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo (São Paulo Museum of Modern Art).
Antônio José de Barros Carvalho e Mello Mourão, known as Tunga (1952-2016) explored themes such as science, alchemy and philosophy. Throughout his extensive artistic career he created mythologies, played on the concept of immutability and transformation. In the seventies he produced drawings, sculptures and figurative images. Later, he built a corpus permeated by symbolism expressed in installations, performance, and conceptually complex elements.
Eu, Você e a Lua (You, Me and the Moon, 2015) is composed of stones, mirrors, glass bottles, plaster or resin, arches and rods—recurring elements of Tunga's work. The focus of the work is a large hollow tree trunk supported by tripods. Under its shade amber runs along the trunk and mirrors reflect the quartz bottles.
The work is displayed as originally exhibited at the Centre d'Arts et de Nature (Art and Nature Center) Domaine de Chaumont-sur-Loire, France.
