INSTALAÇÃO LUMINOSA
MAN
Inspired by Rodin’s iconic "The Thinker," MAN by Amanda Parer invites us to reflect on the most human act of all: thinking.
Bent over itself, with its head resting on its hand, this colossal light figure seems suspended between worlds: between what is and what could be, between consciousness and dream, between reality and imagination.
In this edition of LUMINA, where dreams and stories take shape, this monumental figure represents each one of us.
It offers no answers but leaves space for questions, serving as a kind of mirror for our own thoughts.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Amanda Parer
Amanda Parer’s artwork explores the complex relationship that mankind has with the natural world, her work aims for us to reflect on our impact on the environment. Her imagery plays with scale, light, darkness, humour and melancholy to convey these themes. Amanda finds inspiration from the dramatic landscapes found in her home in Tasmania, Australia. Amanda has been exploring environmental themes in her work since a 1995 trip to the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, where she assisted on award winning natural history film documentaries. Here she experienced the natural world at it’s most pure. Amanda beautifully executes her larger than life works to be approachable, even humorous to draw the viewer into the more serious theme in the work, which is man’s mismanagement of the environment. Amanda’s artwork has gained global recognition and been appreciated by millions.
