The work of multifaceted Uruguayan artist Dani Umpi eschews any attempts at concrete definitions. In part this is due to the fact that Umpi is several artists in one: he works professionally as a visual artist, writer, performer and musician.

This exhibition, his first solo show in Paris, includes sculptural works that were born on stage as live architectures for the vital body. He calls them parangolés paying homage to the wearable-garments created by one of the key exponents of Brazilian neo-concretism, Hélio Oiticica.
