First derivation of the «integration» series, «con|suma • des|apareça» / «con|sume • dis|appear» arises from the proposal made by the curators of ateliê 397 for the «clínica geral» / «general clinic» project, which was organized as a collective exhibition at the xow.rumi / capacete space in Rio de Janeiro. The proposal consisted of presenting work related to a bar located on site.

Inside them, distributed to anyone who bought something at the exhibition’s bar, 21 phrases taken from the dictionary, definitions for the entry consume, were randomly distributed to those who consumed the work.
