Alfabeto Maldito /
Mauvais Alphabet
Is a collaboration with artist Joélson Buggilla. It started during a residency at Utopiana, 2019, when we worked with the "mauvaises herbes" (weeds) that grow around the urban area of Geneva, Switzerland. The project soon travelled to Paraty, Brazil, where we worked with the spontaneous plants that gr
ow in that area. Departing from the weeds images, we created an "alphabet" in each of these places, with which we have been experimenting different modes of writing. A version of the alphabet was printed on fabric, using cyanotype, for the exhibition at Le Commun, Geneva, Switzerland, also in 2019.
