    Palomo

    A person in a black uniform and a muzzle-like mask rides a vibrant, bright red horse past a mustard-yellow building. A person sits on the sidewalk in the background.

    Muzzled and uniformed, Reale patrols the streets of Belém atop a blood-red horse, navigating with quiet menace as the city holds its breath.

    APEX

    A high-contrast, glowing red sun with visible solar flares and surface textures against a pitch-black background. A prominent solar prominence erupts from the lower left side of the star.

    La Sombra

    A woman in black clothing runs down a dirt path with a determined, strained expression as a large military tank pursues her from behind. The scene is set in a desolate, wooded landscape under an overcast sky.

    The German-made leopard tank pursues the artist across a barren field in a continuous loop, charting the insatiable pursuit of the global arms market, and the lives it destroys.

    Perros Chaos

    A kinetic metal sculpture made of industrial beams and gears, featuring a realistic prosthetic hand holding three cigarettes between its fingers. The mechanical frame appears rugged and functional, set against a stark white background.

    Autonomous robot dogs roam an unstable field of industrial noise, light and fog. Tension thickens, chaos encroaches—a portent of what's coming.

    What did you say?

    A surreal graphic on a pink background featuring a halftone-patterned open mouth. Inside the mouth is a repeating, recursive image of smaller mouths opening within one another, creating an "infinity mirror" effect of a scream.

    Words unheard and words unspoken. A series of disquieting moments reverberate through the Centre for the Arts and beyond.
