Ana Amorim
The indissoluble relationship between art and life is at the heart of Ana Amorim’s practice. Since the 1980s, she has developed a body of work in which the movements of everyday life are recorded and registered with such rigor that there is no effective difference between being alive and making art. Ana Amorim developed her work in São Paulo, Brazil, the USA, UK, New Zealand, Australia, Spain, and other locations. Broadly speaking, her work consists of two distinct but related ongoing practices: Mental Maps in which she traces her daily movements from memory at the end of each day, and Passage of Time in which she records each passing second with numbers and graphic marks
