PERFORMANCE
A visual manifesto that echoes the warning of Yanomami chief Davi Kopenawa, leader and representative of a native people of Brazil, about the crisis facing humanity. This work, inspired by the book "The Fall of the Sky: Words of a Yanomami Shaman," transcribed by French anthropologist Bruce Albert, while traveling in the M.A.L.A. to France, establishes a powerful dialogue between the two cultures, just as the friendship and collaboration between Kopenawa and Albert did.
