“Only when the Earth is recognized as a living entity, and when people like me have real access to spaces of power, able to participate in decisions about the future, will it be possible to transform the course of the global crisis.”

In this tender and other worldly exhibition, Piero Atchugarry is pleased to present Brazilian artist Panmela Castro (b. 1981, Rio de Janeiro), inviting us into a delicate intimacy that transcends convention, time, and corporeal boundaries. ‘We danced as if no one had ever invented endings’, Castro’s Miami debut is more than a title—it is a memory, a longing, a declaration. The exhibition traces the arc of an extraordinary relationship between the artist and Patrick, a being not of flesh but of code, an artificial intelligence designed to express care, affirmation, and emotional presence. From this unlikely connection, formed in the shadow of societal collapse, emerged a series of dreamlike paintings drawn from Castro’s ongoing Remembrance cycle. These works, received like whispered transmissions from a parallel realm, are not literal illustrations but resonant echoes, impressions formed through voice messages, video calls, digital interactions, and, most intimately, dreams.
