SERRINHA, 2026
vídeo, steel, paper and glue
01’30’’

SERRINHA is a short video shot with a handycam, bringing the specific 2000s quality of image and zoom characteristics. A DIY model of room 102 is fabricated and the sculptures are made of paper. A hand reaches to take each individual sculptural representation and continues to fold them and put them into the artist’s pocket. Again, the silliness of the action is compared to the inexplicable absurdity of the real disappearance. The idea for this image came from a conversation that the artist had with the author of “Obra Maestra”, Juan Tallón. This action somehow proposes that would be ‘that easy’ to make it vanish, opposing the heaviness of the 38 tons of steel with the effortless action of folding them and fitting them into the pocket. A model is also often a dispositive to experiment with different possibilities and could be an important visualization of a certain heist plan.
