The artwork, titled “Carandirú,” was created by Lygia Pape in 2002 and belongs to the Conceptual Art movement. Classified as an installation genre, this piece embodies the thematic and aesthetic explorations characteristic of Pape’s oeuvre.
“Carandirú” is a visually striking installation bathed in a dominant red hue, exuding a sense of intensity and urgency. Central to the installation is a large, framed section through which a seemingly continuous flow of liquid appears to cascade. The glowing red ambiance pervades the entire setting, highlighting the texture and movement of the liquid. The sheen and illumination create an almost ethereal atmosphere, drawing viewers into the depth of the work. The floor around the installation mirrors the lighting above, reinforcing the immersion in the monochromatic red palette and enhancing the overall visual impact of the piece.
