De lama lâmina (2009)
Geodesic domes in steel and glass, forestry tractor, polyethylene sculpture, 8x14x55 m
Inaugurated in 2009, the gallery houses the work De Lama Lâmina (2009), the latest development in Matthew Barney's project in partnership with musician Arto Lindsay, carried out during the Salvador carnival in 2004. Made especially for the Inhotim Institute, the installation reaffirms the artist's interest in mythological narratives, finding in Afro-Brazilian syncretism a fertile ground to explore the dialectical nature of things.
Inside the geodesic dome made of steel and glass, located in the woods away from the park's core, is the tractor that supports a tree, used in the performance in Bahia. The piece highlights Barney's environmental concerns and the possibility of interpreting the work within the field of ecology.
