Campana Brothers

"In a recent interview with the Campana Brothers one says about the other: he is my Unconscious. To which, the other immediately replies: he is a box full of surprises. Both speak of the same. Both state the ability to experience, for over thirty years, a partnership guided by mutual communication (which is not always verbal) between their Unconscious which is a phenomenon also observed and reported by Freud in his daily psychoanalytic practice. Throughout the years, they still become surprised with their findings when facing one another, one into the other, when they are confronted by their own constitutive contents."José Luiz Tavares

For over thirty years, Humberto e Fernando have presented themselves and their work as “uncomfortable”, with unique pieces that would make us feel uncomfortable and -at the same time- being able to promote a high level of seduction more through their transgressive aesthetics than through ergonomics per se. Since then they have been characterized by originality, diversity, multiplicity of materials, profusion of colors, fragments and reflexes. They walk on deconstruction, recreate waste, create a debate and indicate the way to apermanence that is absolutely unstable due to the accelerated rhythm of their production. José Luiz Tavares
