LUÍS MACEDO “Cindy, Let’s Go Fuck O Castelo?”, “Corn Passes is What’s Left”, “Starry Sky, Who is Loved?” (2023) // Tile on plywood; 60 cm x 60 cm

Brief Side Effects transports you to the original and dark folk tales, through the fascinating and disturbing interpretation of psychoanalytic aspects. It is important to know the violence of kids abandoned in the black forests and the king’s desire to offer his daughter, the witches who eat children and the eroticism in glass shoes, to allow the creation of a new and strange moral episode. The characters gain space for new interpretations in the stories and invite us to question the role of behavior in society, of what can be considered morally appropriate or unacceptable.
