"…The wonderful world of floating objects belongs to the contemporary, post-minimalist genre of installation. Without any major experimental pretensions, it brings a breath of freedom to the work, now capable of spatially articulating and rearticulating its elements in an open essay. Its multiple versions have in common an obsession with lightness and availability, timely aesthetic correctives to an increasingly heavy and opaque world, increasingly closed to spontaneous processes of subjectivation. Lightness and availability that also summarize the artist's intuitive strategy in dealing with the accumulated burden of modern tradition, the widespread feeling that everything has already been done and accomplished. If that were the case, all that would remain would be the various postmodern populisms for which the truth of art no longer lies in itself but in some index of political correctness. With its misleading title, its undertones of the imaginary universe of childhood, the series is perfectly sincere — it promises to relativize gravity, in every sense of the term. In this playful spirit, the installation eventually evokes a giant, anti-gravitational Morandi. In any case, because of the sense of levitation, it materializes a dreamlike atmosphere without resorting to clichés of the genre. Kinesthetic, The Wonderful World of Floating Objects alters the physical posture of contemplation by mixing horizontal and vertical, full and empty, real and virtual. Fluid sculpture"

Biography
Maria-Carmen Perlingeiro
Maria-Carmen studied at the School of Fine Arts at UFRJ, but graduated from the École Supérieure d'Art Visuel. The sculptor also studied in New York and when she visited Sérgio Camargo's studio she discovered the sculptural possibilities of marble. However, the raw material of her choice was Tuscan alabaster, which has a transparency permeated by spots and waves.
In the 1990s, he won the Darier Hentsch & Cie Bank Prize in Geneva, competing with 249 artists from around the world. His collective and individual exhibitions have taken his works to countries such as Brazil, France, Switzerland and Italy. He participated in the 13th and 14th editions of the São Paulo Biennial.
