His sculptures, performances, and videos convey signs of deep-rooted violence and social injustice in people's everyday lives. He reflects how these conditions are repeated again and again as a result of Brazilian politics. His recent works analyze the influence of the European countries and the United States, notably the role the arms trade has played in the spread of violence in Brazil and Latin America. The Berlinische Galerie is screening "v.a. 4598 (Rio Olympics)" (2016, 15 min.), "Flesh and Agony" (2018, 9:38 min.) and the new work: "The Plague" (2020).
