The work of Marlon de Azambuja is intimately linked to the relationship of the human body with natural and urban spaces, as an approach to the formation of subjectivities related to control, authority and agency. With an aesthetic deeply rooted in the precepts of architectural and artistic modernism of his native country, Brazil, Azambuja builds allegories and material experiences referring to the adaptation and reconstruction of these aesthetic patterns – as post-colonialist strategies – that took place and continue to this day in Latin America.

The exhibition Caminhar a Noite [Walking the Night] displays four series of the artist's most recent oeuvre that questions and examines the role of intuition in the exploration of spaces, the colonialist imposition of precepts of social and cultural development through emblematic materials and scenarios, and the production of work and thought from the global south. Above all, the show highlights the approach to the landscape as a tool to generate a complete experience and address the relationship of the bodies with their environment. Azambuja's goal is to generate "alternatives to build a new path with meaning in this world we inhabit."
