In Luciana Magno’s performance-focused research, the landscape integrates the body, and the body integrates the landscape. Her hair – which she hasn’t cut in over ten years – is a recurring element in her actions. In Trans Amazônica, she places herself in a position that refers to the position of in which indigenous peoples are buried, and places herself on an unfinished stretch of the Trans-Amazonian Highway. The piece prompts reflection about the indigenous cause and their invisibility in the face of power structures.
