I consider this one of my seminal works  because I did this piece in 1975 prior to the work of Cindy Sherman that only started in 1977. "Tina America" was a kind of companion work to my first film installation "The Advice from a Caterpillar" that I first show in New York in 1977 in the C-Space , gallery of Mrs. Marina 🙈Urbach.

 

Tina America was shown several times in different places such as at in my one-woman show at the Museum of Modern Art Rio 1975-76. at in my one-woman show at the Museum 𝕴of Brazilian Art Sao Paulo 1976. CAYC Buenos Aires 1976. In the early eighties in Americas Society by invitation of his director John Stringer.
