Eduardo Berliner: Corpo em Muda

The Portuguese word “muda” in “Corpo em Muda” (Body in Change), besides meaning “change,” is associated with sprouting, transformation and renovation. The term also designates a young plant (seedling) which is yearning for the action of time. These notions also bear a sense of expectations of hatching, metamorphosis, and fruiting.

Bodies in change reappear in the recent production by Eduardo Berliner; the artworks featured in the show hosted by Casa Triângulo reveal the means by which his figurative universe operates hybridizations. Upon entering this exhibition we see a utist with the snout, a dog with a child’s head, a doll with horns for arms. Dissimilar autonomous elements circulate within the same universe, without any de nite origin or destination. The outlook presented is one of bodies that undergo transmutations, recombinations and amputations in a space of limbo between the human and the animalesque.
