Reviews

It seems appropriate to start with the work of Brazilian artist Brígida Baltar "Collecting mist" (a project she developed between 1996-2001) where she performs the inevitably frustrating gesture of trying to capture something that is immaterial. Mist, as "See breeze" (another of her projects), is part of her context but it is impossible to capture and "represent".[14]
