Tunga: Eu, Você e a Lua (Me, You and the Moon)

Tunga (1952–2016) explored alchemy, psychoanalysis, science and philosophy. Over four decades, he created a mythology,  where the issue of immutability and transformation are fundamental.

The installation Eu, Você e a Lua (2015) (Me, You and the Moon) was one of the last major works completed by the artist.

Eu, Você e a Lua (Me, You and the Moon) also brings together recurring elements of his oeuvre, such as stones, mirrors, bottles in crystal, plaster or resin, and plates suspended in arcs and rods. The core of the installation is formed by a large, hollow and petrified tree trunk, supported by two tripods. Under the shadow cast by the work in the Glass Room, an amber trails almost the entire length of the trunk. The mirrors that compose the work reflect quartz bottles from above and from below.

Tunga used to imagine the human body rebuilt from landscape and for this reason he assembled disparate elements to create a new sensibility.
