O Estado das Coisas

 

The State of Things

My commentary

 

Newspapers were censored and did not disguise. Articles vetoed by the censor, under the claim that the edition was ready, were replaced by black stain or by alternative text, pure joking, like classical poetry or cooking recipe.

 

I was constantly seeing the ruse and, using the first page of O Estado de São Paulo, a very combative newspaper, I made O Estado das Coisas (The State of Things). Allusion to the title of that newspaper, state as unit of federation, replaced by state as a condition.
