Sunstroke is a solo show that worked as an installation at Galeria Cave, in Fortaleza, Brazil. Drawing from the research project The Right to Shade, it brings together ecology, data science, architecture, cosmology, and digital technology.

“Through a poetics of data abstraction, Mari uses color and form to map a metaphysical cartography in which fluorescent yellow indicates sun exposure and gray signals brutalist concrete areas. The artist appropriates technologies originally developed for mass surveillance and control, subverting their function for poetic purposes and to generate critical reflections on the present.” (Lucas Dilacerda, curator)

The series of graphic drawings on paper serves as a diary of the city, where colored lines tell stories that merge reality and speculative fiction.
