Fause Haten presents “DITO! Aquilo que não foi” in his first solo exhibition as a visual artist

With a career marked by transitioning between fashion, theater, performance, and photography, Fause Haten presents his first solo exhibition as a visual artist, titled DITO! What was not said. The show, which will be on display from August 22 to September 12 at the Fonte in São Paulo, brings together 28 works produced in 2026 and represents a new moment in his research, which he has developed over the decades.

In DITO!, Haten investigates the relationship between clothing, image, and object, bringing these elements together in an innovative way. Dresses, coats, and other clothing items are transformed into supports, images, and sculptural objects, activating narratives that articulate memory, word, and matter. The works are traversed by short phrases, thoughts, confessions, and statements that evoke what has remained silent or has not found a way to be said.

“There are things that need to be spoken. Things that were not said and that at some point will need to be,” states the artist. The curator of the show, Daniel Rangel, notes that the clothes do not function merely as a material support, but carry information about time, class, desire, behavior, and memory, which are activated and tensioned by the images and phrases present in the works.

The exhibition reaffirms a path marked by continuous experimentation, bringing together painting, sculpture, dramaturgy, performance, and fashion. DITO! What was not said can be understood as the provisional synthesis of a trajectory built in permanent transit between languages.
