A pesquisa foi ganhadora e subsidiada pela 7ª edição da Bolsa ZUM de Fotografia no Instituto Moreira Salles em 2019. O neon explora a estética dos letreiros dos muitos motéis presentes ao longo da Av. Brasil. Aleta faz uma análise dos seus aspectos semânticos e morfológicos, pensando sobre os artefatos culturais posicionados na via, capazes de nos situar no tempo e no espaço e de produzir diferentes sentidos, de acordo com os contextos históricos e socioculturais nos quais estão inseridos.
Neon produced by the artist during the development of her research Avenida Brasil 24h, which investigates and makes explicit the relationships between body and city, rest and movement, life and death along the largest avenue in length in the country and the largest urban stretch of BR- 101 north (Rio-Niterói Bridge and Rio-Vitória / Niterói-Manilha Highway) to BR-101 south (Rio-Santos Highway). With its 58.5 kilometers that cross 26 neighborhoods, Av. Brasil is the most important expressway in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The research won and was subsidized by the 7th edition of the ZUM Photography Scholarship at the Moreira Salles Institute in 2019. The neon explores the aesthetics of the signs of the many motels present along Av. Brazil. Aleta analyzes their semantics and morphological aspects, thinking about the cultural artifacts positioned on the road, capable of situating us in time and space and producing different meanings according to the historical and sociocultural contexts in which they are inserted.
