     The exhibition Era das Fragilidades (2020) is part of the Mostra BA program of the Bachelor of Visual Arts course held by the Centro Universitário de Belas Artes de São Paulo. In this exhibition, the curators investigate the contemporary world through the concepts of the Anthropocene. The exhibition brings together 14 students from Centro Universitário Belas Artes de São Paulo with works produced through video and photo performances, artistic installations, paintings, engravings among others that explore through poetics, materialities and forms the different conditions through which we, anthropogenic figures, we leave marks and are marked by the world.

​

     Held in the second half of 2020, the Era of Fragilities exhibition was transformed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Conditions of social isolation created the need for a virtual exhibition. In this format, the program was deprived of one of the most significant elements for art: its physical presence, the visual, auditory and tactile stimuli that make up the exhibition environment and contribute to the public's experience.Within this context, selected to create the catalogue, I found myself facing a major obstacle: How to create visual material that could stimulate similar immersion experienced in an exhibition environment? How to combine all the selected artistic and curatorial work carried out into a design that could remain in memory? To confine myself to the absence of physical presence would be to disregard an entire context that greatly contributed to the meaning of the exhibition and imposed conditions not only on my work, but on the entire team responsible for it. With this in mind, I appropriated this imposition and its signs to create a material that brings together characteristic elements of digital technological language abstracted and combined between: grids, blue screen, robotic font, combination of characters and letters to write software language terms.
