About the Work

In the 1970s, Mira Schendel channeled her interest into philosophical and theological reading. She became close to the field of New Phenomenology, which brought her closer to some of the concepts and ideals of the German philosopher and teacher Hermann Schmitz, whom Mira met several times on her trips to Kiel, Germany. Matters involving corporeality brought up by Schmitz were shared by Mira, who was experimenting in her work with aspects related to signs, meditation and understanding art as a phenomenon, available in society and reverberating in multiple facets of existence and the body.

Schmitz is guided by the idea that signs structure experiences, which is in line with Mira's works from this period, which combine references and techniques that she worked on throughout her career. Letterset, watercolor pencils and the use of gold leaf are some of the techniques she combines in some of her works from this period.
