Inverted Apocalypse shows an image found in an evangelization book where it reads “Brazil and the Apocalypse.” Applied upside down to the facade, the image will be gradually constructed throughout the exhibition period through the performance “Work after 6 PM”, where Ianni will chisel away at the large entrance wall of Vermelho, through which hundreds of projects have passed, in pursuit of the pictorial construction of the inverted image. The work plays with the end of the world as a tool to block imagination, through fear, and as a possibility of reinvention.
