The title comes form a term used by Rodrigo Naves about the art work Nelson Felix and seeks to relate it as a part and continuity of contemporary artists — and specifically of mental elaboration that tries to replace the traditional composition — with the current Line of thought from the social and natural sciences that theorizes the socalled Anthropocene. His work is taken as a subject here because it works more directly (and at the same time indirect) with the materials from the natural and social / cultural world, in addition to maintaining inaccessible and indeterminate dimensions of meaning. In this way, some recents notions about the Anthropoce articulated by Dipesh Chakrabarty, Bruno Latour and Donna Haraway with others about the modernity from Hannah Arendt, Erwin Panofsky, among others are placed together before looking to a group of works by the artist. This way we seek to understand the possible relations in Brazilian contemporary art with such urgent concepts debated today in the discussion about this new geological epoch.
