This is the last sound work of the artist Cildo Meireles, with the voiceover of Iris Letiere, whose voice is a sort of "intangible cultural asset of Brazil". Iris has been the voice announcing flights at Rio de Janeiro International Airport for many years. On the disc, the announcer repeats the phrases in a loop: "This is disappearing", "This is disappearing", "This is going out", "This is ending".

 

Bio

Cildo Meireles (Rio de Janeiro, 1948) is a Brazilian sculptor and artist, author of immersive and multisensory installations, through which he addresses social and cultural issues, including political oppression in Brazil. The first exhibition in Italy dedicated to the artist, curated by Vicente Todolí in the Pirelli Hangar Bicocca, is a retrospective selection of the large installations produced from 1970 to today.
