At the invitation of Disney Brazil , visual artist Vik Muniz will be present at SP-Arte 2023 with the exhibition “GIBI”. The 26 m² installation at the Bienal Pavilion, in São Paulo (SP), will house seven works created based on the artist's inspiration and admiration for Walt Disney . Vik Muniz is internationally recognized for his work in photography , challenging the viewer's perception by creating images composed of a variety of unconventional materials , often citing significant references from visual culture in general, both classical and popular.
