Practices for Dismentling the City, 2025<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if I eliminated this building to discover what\u2019s behind it? What if I removed that block? And another layer?\u201d \u2013 we can imagine Let\u00edcia Lampert asking herself this, with a shovel or utility knife in hand, as she digs through her own photographs. With the impetus of someone dismantling a toy to unravel its mechanism, she uses what remains as her mortar. In a balance between fine precision and chance, she subtracts from the city in order to add. To join differently. Thus, we traverse pages and places as concrete as they are nonexistent, moments dissected from the raw material into which she transforms her images. A poetry of form, loose collage, a silent book: they are gray blocks, pastel tones, textures, an architecture that squeezes and misplaces the much-desired blue horizon. If the view blocks it, Let\u00edcia uncovers it; she opens paths and invites us to explore them, to walk as one who still dreams and therefore refounds other cities.<\/p>\n

\u201cE se eu eliminasse esse pr\u00e9dio para descobrir o que tem atr\u00e1s? E se tirasse aquele bloco? E mais outra camada?\u201d \u2013 \u00e9 poss\u00edvel imaginarmos Let\u00edcia Lampert se perguntando, com uma p\u00e1 ou estilete em m\u00e3os, enquanto cavouca as pr\u00f3prias fotografias. Com o \u00edmpeto de quem desmonta um brinquedo para desvendar seu mecanismo, ela usa o que resta como sua argamassa. Num equil\u00edbrio entre a precis\u00e3o fina e o acaso, subtrai da cidade para ent\u00e3o somar. Juntar diferente. Assim, atravessamos p\u00e1ginas e lugares t\u00e3o concretos como inexistentes, instantes destrinchados da mat\u00e9ria-prima em que converte suas imagens. Uma poesia da forma, colagem solta, um livro calado: s\u00e3o blocos cinzentos, tons pastel, texturas, uma arquitetura que espreme e extravia o horizonte azul t\u00e3o desejado. Se a vista barra, Let\u00edcia destapa; abre caminhos e nos convida a vasculh\u00e1-los, a caminhar como quem ainda sonha e por isso refunda outras cidades.<\/p>\n
