Small Big Traumas is a participatory installation that conceives landscape as a relational field where memory, body, and language converge. Rather than a backdrop or representation, landscape is treated as an active structure capable of retaining, transforming, and displacing experience.
The work consists of three vertical modules (each 180 × 60 cm). One module allows bodily passage. A second is crossed by a curtain of colored plastic strips, functioning as a perceptual threshold. The third module presents double-sided white canvas and is activated through audience intervention.
Participants engage in an act of recollection in which an internal image—understood as a landscape of memory—is progressively reduced, desaturated, and displaced until it dissolves. This transformation is registered through graphic inscription on the canvas surface, producing an accumulating field of marks.
Informed by Édouard Glissant’s thinking on relation and Tout-monde, by figures of threshold and non-place in Guimarães Rosa, and by cinematic approaches to memory as montage in Agnès Varda, the work articulates memory as a shared, unstable territory. The resulting drawings form a collective visual archive shaped by participation and encounter.

Exhibition-event
2025
Joaquina Beach, Florianópolis, Brazil
December 13, 2025, 9:00–11:00 a.m.
Exhibition-event developed as an outcome of the research group Impossibilidade de Esgotamento, coordinated by Kamilla Nunes, following five months of collective investigation.
The exhibition brought together 34 participants, who presented artistic processes based on an expanded understanding of “landscape” — not limited to nature or scenery, but conceived as symbolic, political, affective, urban, bodily, and ancestral territory.
The curatorial proposal reflected on the fabulation of landscapes as subjective constructions intertwined with our perception of the world, activating the public space of the beach as a sensitive, political, and experiential site.
