I pray for the teeth on your mouth, by Fábio de Carvalho, is an exhibition about the world of photography. It is about the nature of photography, its materiality, its scientific character, modus operandi, manipulation, creation and plasticity, made possible during the photographic processing and settling of the installation. From digital to analogue, from the two-dimensionality of the printed film to the three-dimensionality of the exhibition room, I pray for the teeth on your mouth is a remembrance of photography’s limits, the conquest of an exhibiting space and the unconcerned point of view with themes, genres and entrenched stories.
