Guerreiro do Divino Amor (Geneva, Switzerland, 1983) holds a Master’s degree in Architecture from the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Grenoble and La Cambre in Brussels. His practice encompasses multimedia installations, films, and publications. By intersecting the fields of architecture, science fiction, and documentary, his projects discuss the symbolic constructions of territory and power based on simulacra of existing social institutions, promoting displacements and satires regarding the collective imaginary and national identities. Combining irony and social criticism with a Baroque aesthetic, Guerreiro converts institutional, architectural, and media discourses into superfictional universes that destabilize hegemonic narratives and question notions of reality and historical truth in the wake of perceptions regarding post-colonialism and globalization.
Since 2005, the artist has been developing the “Superfictional World Atlas” saga, a vast project that maps the symbolic formations of nations, religions, media, and power systems. In 2024, he was invited by Pro Helvetia to represent Switzerland at the Venice Biennale with the solo project “Super Superior Civilizations,” presenting the chapters “The Miracle of Helvetia” and “Roma Talismano” from his saga.
He was awarded the Pampulha Grant in 2019, the same year he won the Pipa Prize. Selected solo exhibitions include: “Superfictional Sanctuaries,” Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève, Geneva, Switzerland (2025); “Civilizações Super Superiores,” at Centro de Arte Contemporânea W, São Paulo, Brazil (2019); and “Superficções,” at Paço das Artes and Museu da Imagem e do Som, São Paulo, Brazil (2018). Recent group exhibitions include: “Worlds Apart,” Pérez Art Museum Miami, USA (2025); “Unfold X,” at the Seoul Foundation for Arts and Culture, Seoul, South Korea (2025); “Time is on my side,” at the Istituto Svizzero, Palermo, Italy (2025); “Reverberações Surrealistas,” at the Museu de Arte Brasileira (MAB), São Paulo, Brazil (2024); “Flávio de Carvalho experimental,” at SESC Pompeia, São Paulo, Brazil (2022); and “Ninguém teria acreditado,” at the Pinacoteca de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil (2021), among others.
His work is included in the collections of major institutions such as: Aargauer Kunsthaus Collection (Switzerland); FCAC Geneva, Cantonal Fund for Contemporary Art (Switzerland); MAR – Museu de Arte do Rio (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil); Museu de Arte Brasileira da FAAP (São Paulo, Brazil); Instituto Pipa (Brazil); Casa Niemeyer (Brasília, Brazil); and Museu de Arte da Pampulha – MAP (Belo Horizonte, Brazil). His videos are also part of the Alfredo Hertzog Video Art Collection.
