A worldwide success, the
exhibition "Life in Things" , on display at the Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil Rio de Janeiro (
CCBB RJ ), features surprising installations, full of movement and deeper meanings than what can be seen with the naked eye.
The project is the result of the work of a duo of Dutch artists who are at the forefront of
Studio Drift ,
Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta . Through different exhibitions, the artists sought to create a
reconnection between human beings and the environment and nature .
To do this, they use
technological resources that enhance and contrast natural beauty to make visitors reflect on their own essence.
This is the first time that a representative set of works by the artists has been presented on Brazilian soil, although the duo has already toured a strong international circuit. Their works have been exhibited at
The Shed (New York, 2021),
Art Basel (2017, 2021),
Victoria & Albert Museum (London, 2009, 2015),
Venice Biennale (2015), among others.
One of the highlights of the exhibition, located in one of the most prominent spaces at CCBB RJ, is the
Shylight installation – a hypnotic sculpture that opens and closes, in a fascinating choreography that
imitates the behavior of flowers that, at night, close as a form of
protection and resource conservation .
Another piece that is catching the attention of visitors is
Fragile Future , in which the artists capture around
15,000 seeds each spring in Amsterdam , and dehydrate them to incorporate them into an
electronic system that includes phosphor bronze and LED lights .
The exhibition will be on display until May 22 and is free of charge. Tickets can be purchased at the CCBB RJ box office or on the website:
