Interflow
During a residency process of interval_escola,
in Tupana river – interfluvium of the Purus and
Madeira rivers, in Amazonas – we talked a lot about the night sky, planets, what was out
there, what was down here, and other things to
know.
In the talks, I tried to articulate something that
could explain what I did – it was the material,
the making, seeing things become real; I had
wood in my mind, the passage of physical
structures to invisible ones.
This way was born the idea of a platform to
observe the night sky: a prototype out of 12, in
30 degrees open angle, completing a circle, a celestial dome to, at the same time, observe
the sky and ourselves.

Interflúvio, 2017
Durante o processo da residência intervalo_escola, no Rio Tupana - interflúvio do Purus e do Madeira, no Amazonas - falávamos muito à noite sobre o céu, planetas, o que havia lá fora, o que havia aqui embaixo, outras coisas a saber.
Durante as nossas falas, eu tentava articular algo que explicaria o que eu fazia - era o material, o fazer, ver materializar, na minha cabeça estava a madeira, as estruturas físicas e a passagem para as invisíveis.
Assim nasceu a ideia de uma plataforma para observar o céu noturno: um protótipo de outros 11, em 30 graus de abertura, completando um círculo, uma abóbada celeste para ao mesmo tempo observarmos o céu, conversar e descansar.
