Lúcia Prancha

In the exhibition ‘Hilda’, artist Lúcia Prancha presents a group of works that delve into the realms of the body, desire, and language, creating a fertile ground for dialogue between sculpture, literature, and critical thought. The title directly references the writer and poet Hilda Hilst (1930–2004), whose transgressive, introspective, dense, and radical oeuvre serves here as a symbolic and emotional axis for the artistic research developed by Lúcia Prancha.

The artist’s practice is deeply rooted in literature and archive study. The relationship with texts and traces of the past manifests in her work through multiple supports and materials, including films, fabrics, hair, and a diverse range of objects. Each piece seems to contain a vibrant corporeality, echoes, delirium, rigour, a layer of history, or a fragment of interrupted discourse.
