T.S., Mabe Bethonicus (IKREK)

Mabe works with archives and institutions, creating fiction and facilitating debates through publications, lectures and installations. In the book, she tells the story of T.S., a Swiss artist who had a great deal of exposure in the Brazilian art scene, but was erased from official history. Mabe gathers a wealth of documentation about the painter, but applies a blank banner over his name.
