BERLINDE DE BRUYCKERE 'Atravessar uma ponte em chamas'

The title of Berlinde de Bruyckere’s temporary exhibition, Atravessar uma ponte em chamas [Crossing a bridge on fire], comes from a short story by Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño. It instills a powerful image of the risk or difficulty of passing from one side to another, which could be applied to the modern day processes of migration, change in society and transformation in general.
