The 38th Panorama of Brazilian Art: 1000º has, as its motto, the idea of a temperature opposite to absolute zero, an insurmountable maximum temperature, the incidence of which results in total molecular agitation, that is, capable of melting any existing matter. This concept serves as a point of imagination to think about contexts with a high rate of environmental variation and situations involving combustion, electricity and friction processes. In this sense, the project is guided by an interest in formulations linked to experimentation, intense risk, radical situations, extreme conditions through heat — metaphysical, metaphorical and climatic — and the states — of soul and matter — that put us in the face of transmutation as an inevitable and immediate destiny.
