Matter & Spirit - Tucci

Selkie Collection is advising Brazilian artist Daniel Tucci on a curated release to be featured on SuperRare on January 8.

We supported Tucci with concept development, strategy, launch plan, marketing and communications.

This body of work, containing five animations and eight botanic engravings available as digital and physical pieces, originates from Tucci’s 12 years of consecration to the Ayahuasca tea — a journey of listening and surrendering to the forest, an ancestral experience that unites body, nature, and consciousness. Amongst pigments, leaves, light, and sound, the exhibition proposes a dive into the sensory and spiritual dimensions of this forest medicine, through three interconnected perspectives that form a cycle between the physical, the symbolic, and the transcendent.
