“A Spell to Ward Off the Darkness (Um Feitiço para Espantar a Escuridão)” é um projeto de uma obra instalativa de grande porte, idealizada por Vivan Caccuri a partir de sua pesquisa "Ode ao Triângulo" que investiga a qualidade religiosa e identitária do triângulo, um instrumento musical que teve origem no Egito antigo e que através do tempo ganhou novos usos na cultura popular, se afastando das circunstâncias sagradas da história. Inspirada em obras do período barroco, do modernismo brasileiro e de períodos contemporâneos a artista projetou um obra suspensa pelo teto, que será composta por materiais como metalon, cordões de poliéster, lã, barras de aço e triângulos de percussão, escolhidos de acordo com sua pesquisa e estruturados por objetos escultóricos que abordam os contrastes entretempos, os volumes em equilíbrio, a geometria como síntese do sentimento humano e as relações contraditórias entre pesos e cadências em combinações multiversas.

“A Spell to Ward Off the Darkness (Um Feitiço para Espantar a Escuridão)” is a large installation project designed by Vivian Caccuri during her research "Ode ao Triângulo" that investigates the religious quality of the triangle and its multiple identity. A musical instrument that has its origins in ancient Egypt, the triangle has gained new roles in popular culture over time, moving away from the sacred circumstances of history. Inspired by works from the baroque period, Brazilian modernism and contemporary periods, the artist designed a sculpture suspended from the ceiling, which is composed of materials such as metal, polyester threads, wool, steel drumsticks and percussion triangles, chosen according to the contrasts among religious meanings, volumes in balance, geometry as a synthesis of human feeling in multiverse combinations.
