It was developed within the context of the Lastro em Campo residency in Guatemala, 2015. There, I learned about all the corn species we no longer have in Brazil due to colonialism and monoculture.
As a child, in school, I learned an Indigenous legend of the corn. A once sacred and fundamental food, now to be found in myth or transgenics.
The original object was made of corn skin, corn fiber, and a physalis skin sewed on a wooden sheet.
The final image is an overlay of two photos of this object, taken 20 months apart of each other. With to moments in one image, the photograph expands them into a continuum reading, challenging the linear representation of time.
