Panels of Via Sacra |
Panels of Via Sacra can be seen at “Rodovia dos Romeiros”, which connects Goiânia
to Trindade. Made as a kind of open gallery, the 14 panels of artist Omar Souto narrate the main moments of “Paixão de Cristo”.
Each screen is 10m wide x 4m tall and were finished in 105 days, taking concrete
and masonry in its composition. The panels’ formation suggests a shape of a huge altar and they were mounted in pairs on grassy fields. The
illumination is made with spotlights.
A curious fact is the poetic license of the author of the work, who includes
elements of the history of the region and even himself in the screens. One of them shows the little girl contaminated by Cesium 137 in the
middle of 1987, in Goiânia. |
