- Book Synopsis
- In his practice Brazilian artist Paulo Nimer Pjota's (b. S¦o José do Rio Preto, 1988; lives and works in S¦o Paulo) remixes iconographies from pop culture and counterculture as well as art history. His large-format unframed canvases and metal panels feature tribal tattoos, advertisements from bodegas or luxury shops, graffiti tags, and cartoon characters and are often complemented by sculptures the artist places in front of them. By confronting mundane objects and references to archaeology and art history, Pjota critiques the inefficiency of the hierarchical epistemic systems that draw a divide between high and vernacular culture. The monograph A Lua e Eu (The Moon and I) presents Paulo Nimer Pjota's work of the past five years, illustrating the artist's imposing montage practice. With contributions by Mateus Nunes and Gabi Ngcobo as well as a conversation between the artist and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
