Donated by Artist

Innovative in the use of non-conventional materials, in his artwork Você faz parte II  (You are a part in here II) the artist proposes viewers a game where keys coupled to a mirror reflect astonished eyes. This artwork evidences the artistic operation as a playful one and suggests viewers the idea of being the active pole in a receiving process. Created at a time when artistic experiments focused on stimulating viewers to interact, this works reminds us that all viewers were and are a part in it.
