Summary <\/strong>
An inventive meditation on Brazilian cultural identity.

Overview<\/strong>
Anna Belle Geiger uses the shape of the continent as a departure point and proceeds to a series of pointed, illuminating text and image conjunctions reminiscent of concrete poetry and dada-esque puns and ponderances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anna Belle Geiger reflects<\/strong>
I circled back to my linguistic, phonetic questions* and anthropomorphized the silhouette of Latin America as an Amulet, as a Mulata (mulatto woman) and a Muleta (crutch). I associated them phonetically and drew them on paper. I also made a video about it, Elementary Maps III [\u2026]. Once, I visited a place where they sold vinyl records wrapped in plastic. I read the title of one of them, La Virgen Negra, a bolero, and I bought it. I listened to the song and the very next day I made the video Elementary Maps III, where all I had to do was combine sound and image. I believe in epiphanies. [\u2026] La Virgen Negra is a bolero sung by a woman, where she asks the Black Virgin for help. She speaks like the mythologies that signify a Latin America, asking for help, alms, assistance for all of us, always in a state of dependency, lack(ing) of self- esteem. I don\u2019t think Brazil is like that.\u201d

*Linguistics was a focus of Geiger\u2019s university studies (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) as well as a lifelong fascination.  Her appropriation of cartography parallels her husband Pedro\u2019s landmark studies on the socio-political and historical implications of geography and depictions of territoriality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
