VIVA AO VIVO | VIVA AO VIVO

In Live Alive (2016), the image becomes a territory of dispute between the digital and the real, where the construction of identity unfolds in multiple layers and mediums. The pixel on paper symbolizes this transition: an avatar that reinvents itself both on virtual screens and in serigraphic processes, questioning the relationship between authenticity and representation.

The work investigates the phenomenon of personal promotion through the image, exposing the constant mutations of the same individual in the virtual environment. The user shapes their digital presence according to conveniences, desires, and external expectations—but to what extent does this construction reflect their essence?

If in the virtual you can be whoever you want, who are you in the real?

Live Alive provokes a reflection on the plasticity of identity and the dynamics of self-affirmation in the technological context. The demand to always be visible, edited, and performative clashes with the need for real presence. The work, thus, tensions the thin line between existing on the network and being outside it.

Impose yourself… Live Alive.
