"Anna Bella cria, na primeira metade da década de 1970, uma cartografia cósmica em um conjunto considerável de fotosserigrafias nomeadas Polaridades/Lunares. De modo sutil, os Estados Unidos, que protagonizavam uma corrida à Lua em disputa com a União Soviética, estão presentes nessas representações relacionadas à conquista espacial. A partir de material cedido pelo consulado dos Estados Unidos no Rio de Janeiro, a artista se apropriou de fotografias do planeta Terra e da superfície lunar produzidas por viagens espaciais da NASA. Presente em diversos trabalhos da artista, o formato do X se relaciona às imagens fotográficas em que a falta de nitidez as levaria ao descarte e inutilização. Nas mãos da artista, a marca de rejeição foi retrabalhada e positivada, tornando-se sinal da barreira de acesso aos espaços produzidos pela própria imagem, ao mapear a superfície de um ponto de vista, por assim dizer, geopolítico. O sinal neutro X aparece também entre palavras, como certo-errado, fora-dentro, por exemplo, em outros trabalhos."

"Anna Bella creates, in the first half of the 1970s, a cosmic cartography in a considerable set of photo-silkscreens named Polarities/Lunars. Subtly, the United States, which was leading a race to the moon in dispute with the Soviet Union, is present in these representations related to space conquest. Using material provided by the US consulate in Rio de Janeiro, the artist appropriated photographs of planet Earth and the lunar surface produced by NASA space travel. Present in several works by the artist, the shape of the X is related to photographic images in which the lack of sharpness would lead to discarding and destruction. In the artist's hands, the rejection mark was reworked and made positive, becoming a sign of the access barrier to the spaces produced by the image itself, when mapping the surface from a, so to speak, geopolitical point of view. The neutral sign X also appears between words, such as right-wrong, outside-in, for example, in other works."
