In Reminiscent Urban Archeology, Sergio Marimba addresses time and affection. Marimba has been collecting worn, oxidized, rusted and obsolete objects, some of them dated to specific periods and locations for over 35 years. The artist is interested in displaying these artifacts based on remnant feelings they might carry.
SÉRGIO MARIMBA was born in Rio de Janeiro. Self-taught, he began his career in 1982 developing structures and sculptures in metal for allegories and costumes for Carnival samba schools.
