Antonia Dias Leite’s work “Mirror Mirror” is showing in the exhibition “Virei Viral” at Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil in Rio. The exhibition runs through December 22, 2014.
“In Miroir Miroir, by playing with and transfiguring her own beauty, Antonia Dias Leite dives deeply into the definition of vanity and creates an intense psychological dialogue between facets of the ego. The work makes coexist the sad, the beautiful, the ridiculous and the spectacular and portraits the search for identity while criticizing the obsession with aesthetic perfection. The music, which is a fundamental part of the piece, shows all the paradoxical complexity of female representations of identity and reveals a collectivity which is, on one hand, balanced and coherent, but on the other, exhausted like an abandoned circus clown, who “drinks up enourmous laughter and eats cheers of ‘bravo’, but is sadder than a hat”.”
