In Eu Armário de Mim [I Closet of Myself], Letícia shows us a series of images from the same closet where household objects (white clothes, black clothes, spices, crumpled paper, seasoning, chairs, worship objects) and people (in one of them the five children are put in the cupboard) can be seen, forming at the same time a weird taxonomy and a miniature portrait of the house and the artist. At the same time we see the image of the objects that constitute this weird taxonomy, we can also hear the artist speak in the form of a prayer, the chorus of which is “Eu, armário de mim”. Just like in her other works (the xerox art series Casa, the video In), the images, objects and gestures of everyday life reveal us an “archeology of the present time”
