This new work by Priscila Fernandes and commissioned for Solar is based on the medieval utopia of the Country of Cockaigne- a place of abundant food, pleasant weather and where work is unnecessary. The journey to such country is usually narrated as arduous, taking several years and of enormous expectation. Priscila Fernandes transposes this imaginary to the present time: a park in a city at night where hordes of people walk around it without ever finding entrance. In order to reveal how utopias arise from our imaginary and how they can be instrumentalized, the artist embodies each of her characters with different ambitions and desires, from characters seeking for food and freedom, to stories of exploitation. This work was produced with the kind support of SOLAR, Mondriaan Fonds and CBK Rotterdam.
