Catalogue of the exhibition held at Oi Futuro Institute (RJ) in 2010. This is a volume on the work of installation artist Sonia Andrade. Like other works from this artist, the starting point of her proposal are the myths around the root of Mandrake hallucinogenic plant, worshipped by the alchemists, cited in Genesis, studied in the Cabala, and with its shape that resembles the human body. In one of the walls of the Oi Futuro Gallery, dozens of monitors, interconnected to each other, displayed pictures of the merged roots of a large tree. Another work featured side-by-side, the vision of the same scenario: a wall at the Botanical Garden from the first video of the artist in 1974, and now in the 21st century.
