Tapete Vermelho [Red Carpet] consists of a single garment to be used by two people at the same time, enforcing a sculptural status upon those who share three hours in the same exhibition space, where the communion of bodies hints at the interaction between distinct existences, ascribing every singularity the same importance by emphasizing their differences. Bodily compositions change in extremely slow (at times almost static) movements, and thus the work acquires a dance quality. — Tales Frey
