Luana Vitra grew up in Minas Gerais, a mining state in Brazil. Her practice combines elements of storytelling, adopted from her family and the region, with her interest in the physical, chemical and spiritual qualities of minerals. For this work, Vitra thought about the possibilities of matter as well as the future of the minerals in Al Dhaid. In - + (2025), based on the relationship between magnetic poles, Vitra contemplates how ferrous metals fall in love, attract each other and move apart, and how a potential structure may arise from mineral desire. Inviting us to imagine a future devoid of mineral exploitation, she refutes the construct of the mineral kingdom as an arena to extract a sequence of products for financial gains. Instead, she proposes a deeper understanding of the way minerals exist in the world, as well as a mutually sustainable relationship between presences in the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdoms.
