Descripción del Artista
El trabajo de Priscila Fernandes ha cuestionado durante mucho tiempo las nociones de juego y ocio en contraposición a los conceptos de trabajo, labor y productividad. El ocio, según la investigación de Fernandes, responde en gran medida a los deseos de sociedades particulares para aliviar sus frustraciones, decepciones y represiones. El arte, por otro lado, opera en el límite entre el trabajo y el juego, donde el quehacer de un artista puede ser leer poesía, visitar un museo o ver películas. En el siglo XX, las vacaciones y feriados pagados fueron introducidos para crear una economía del ocio, integrándolo en la maquinaria de la productividad. Para explorar las paradojas y contradicciones encontradas en el tiempo libre y las observadas entre el trabajo del artista y el del individuo perezoso o improductivo, en 2017 Fernandes comenzó a seguir la evolución de las actividades recreativas y a registrar su relación con los movimientos artísticos, asociando, por ejemplo, la invención de las primeras albercas inflables con los performances antropométricos de Yves Klein.
