Montulho Barricada

Abstract

The study presents the photographic record of the action Montulho Barricada (2017) held at the Darcy Ribeiro Campus of the University of Brasília, under the discipline Topics in Contemporary Poetics 2 - Poetics of walking and displacement (Postgraduate Program in Art) given by Profa. Dr. Nivalda Assunção. The work consists in re-signifying a heap of rubble through its redistribution in space. Transfer debris, paint cans, sticks, concrete blocks, among other residues, from the point where they were deposited to the path between the University Restaurant and the Minhocão (UnB). The purpose of the action is to build with the rubble a barricade to 'de-automate' the passage of the passers-by. The production of the barrier aims to provoke a taking decision, whether to cross, to divert or to dismantle the obstacle.
