[Sign Painters from Pernambuco], 2013
Mapping the remaining "sign painters" in the state of Pernambuco, based on an extensive visual documentation, was the proposition put forward by the researchers. As a result, the group covered almost 500 miles from the coast inland, with stops in six cities, and became acquainted with the trade of twelve sign painters whose work is now compiled in a publication. Some originals were displayed in the exhibition to show the materiality of the paint, the medium and the hand gesture.
