Generation 2000 against total chaos (part 25)

- Tell us about Cleantho Viana at Posição 2004.
- His work was fun like a terror movie. It was outside, under one of the open-air verandas. It was a greysh white carcass made of bamboo or something. It looked like a human-shaped phanthom lying on the floor, with snakes or giant worms coming out of it. As you came closer, you noticed the snakes were like vertebral columns made of light brown wood. Bamboo, I was told. He does this green-friendly bamboo stuff, aside from photos and videos and other things. Anyway, it was weird fun awaiting you as you approached the building to enter the art show. It was far enough to scare you for a split second. Then you realised it was not moving, so you felt safe enough to check it out. He used the perfect spot for it.
