Flumen Pinheiros

The performance “Flumen Pinheiros” is a symbolic homage to the Pinheiros River, a gesture of care and recognition for the river.

The performance is part of the FLUMEN project, which Andreco Studio is developing internationally and which addresses the theme of rivers. For about fifteen years, together with Climate Art Project and Andreco studio, we have created performances dedicated to elements of the landscape: mountains, cliffs, lakes, and especially rivers, involving people from local communities. These performances aim to place rivers at the center of attention, encouraging respect and care for urban watercourses. Urban rivers are often polluted and treated like sewage. These actions seek to raise awareness and encourage people to reconsider rivers as entities that deserve respect. Over the years we have performed in Italy, China, India, Morocco, Portugal, Germany, and now Brazil. The performance is also part of the artistic research project Future Environments (Ambientes Futuros), which won the Italian Council Award for Contemporary Artists from DGCC, the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of Italy’s Ministry of Culture. The research project aims to collect scientific data and represent it through evocative artworks about the future of ecosystems. In particular, it seeks to analyze the phenomenon of environmental racism and its repercussions, interpret ecosystems from the perspective of bodies of water, build networks, and imagine new works.

The flags we used for the performance represented the river before and after modernity—before and after the urbanisation of São Paulo.

Flumen Pinheiros

A performance “Flumen Pinheiros” foi uma homenagem simbólica ao rio Pinheiros, um gesto de cuidado e valorização do rio.

A performance faz parte do projeto FLUMEN, que estou a desenvolver a nível internacional e que aborda a temática dos rios. Há cerca de quinze anos, com Climate Art Project e com o estúdio Andreco , realizamos performances dedicadas a elementos da paisagem: montanhas, falésias, lagos e principalmente rios, envolvendo pessoas das comunidades locais. Essas performances buscam colocar os rios no centro da atenção, incentivando o respeito e o cuidado com os cursos d’água nas cidades. Ao longo dos anos realizamos performances na Itália, China, Índia, Marrocos, Portugal, Alemanha e agora no Brasil. A performance também faz parte de Future Environments (Ambientes Futuros) pesquisa artística, que ganhou o Prêmio Italian Council para Artistas Contemporâneos do DGCC do Ministério da Cultura da Itália. O projeto de pesquisa que visa coletar dados científicos para representá-los através de obras de arte evocativas sobre o futuro dos ecossistemas. Em particular, pretende-se analisar o fenômeno do racismo ambiental e suas repercussões, interpretar os ecossistemas da perspectiva dos corpos d’água, construir redes e imaginar novas obras. mais info: FUTURE ENVIRONMENT SÃO PAULO

As bandeiras que utilizamos para a performance em São Paulo representavam o rio antes e depois da modernidade, antes e depois da urbanização da cidade.
