The lamps work as devices that fabricate geometric forms, creating a relation between agent and result through light and space. In the work \u00c1urea, two lamps standing in front of each other and separated by a thin tulle curtain seem to let the projection and the focus floating, and as the fabric moves, different interactions happen between both of the lights and their focuses.\r\n\r\nIn the works with coal, Brand\u00e3o looks for creating straight-line geometric forms \u2013 from the cube to different formats of polyhedrons \u2013 that interact with the paper or the space in different ways, but always as in a game of dice. In Big Bang the cubes are cut by the artist from a rough coal piece and positioned in a box with white paper at the base. When many times thrown in this box, the coal creates a different drawing at all times.\r\n\r\nIn Caixa de J\u00f3ias the coal pieces are cut into geometric shapes that resemble diamonds (both substances composed by carbon, but in different purities) and thrown in the junction between walls and floor, creating a drawing in the space. In this work, the drawing tool, which is the coal, represents the form in itself, once is cut geometrically, and by drawing in space it becomes at the same time agent, action and result.\r\n\r\nIn the work L\u00e1pis, the graphite appears by the pealing of a pencil to it\u2019s last splinter. The artist takes all the wood involving the matter utilized for the drawing, and the process of sharping, that precedes the act of drawing, becomes a process of imagery creation.\r\n\r\nAbout the artist:\r\n\r\nAlexandre Brand\u00e3o (Belo Horizonte, Brasil, 1979). Lives and works in S\u00e3o Paulo.\r\n\r\nGraduated in Arts in 2005, Alexandre Brand\u00e3o has participated in group exhibitions such as the 17th Contemporary Art international Festival SESC- Videobrasil (2011), Sesc Belenzinho, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP, Sism\u00f3grafo, Pal\u00e1cio das Artes, Belo Horizonte, MG (2011), V Bienal Interamericana de Videoarte (2010), Washington D.C., USA, e do KunstFilm Biennale K\u00f6ln, Kino in der Bru\u0308cke \/ K\u00f6lnischer Kunstverein (2005), Koln, Germany.
