Summary <\/strong>
During an artist action in the forest, Anna Belle Geiger makes a stick a target and takes aim at it \u2013 missing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview <\/strong>
Anna Bella Geiger walks, precariously, through a dense forest. In a clearing she treads in circles. She marks the center by pounding a stick into the ground. She steps back and takes aim at it, hurling sticks like native arrows and spears and comments that she feels she is channeling indigenous peoples, who have and who still inhabit Brazil\u2019s vast woodlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historical note<\/strong>
The title suggests a mashup of the English words, \u201ccentral\u201d and \u201cterminal.\u201d 
Gestures here, posit whether Brazilian interface with Nature is to be central or terminal. Geiger and her contemporaries engage many artistic means to ponder the core<\/em> of Brazilian identity in light of its history, landscapes, ethnicities and demographics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna Bella Geiger reflects<\/strong>
In 1974, I made the video that I called <\/em>Centerminal, in which I go into the forest, in the Atlantic rainforest, I walk around in circles and at a certain moment I try to hit a target with an indigenous arrow, but I can\u2019t reach it. Everything was about not being able to reach the center. <\/em>Interview, Hans Ulrich Obrist: entrevistas brasileiras. Vol. I. 2019. (p. 188).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
