PERFORMANCE
A revelia (2024)
Multi-projector Performance. 16mm + Slides
Record of the Infinito Super8 Festival - Buenos Aires - Nov. 2024
Born from leftover films used in the creation of Walden Street, an old diptych by Duo Strangloscope, along with fitograms specially crafted for this work, the performance À Revelia emerges. Created with ecological processes of reusing previously filmed material and fitograms made only with organic elements, the projection work in performance—performed live—acquires the uniqueness of being presented as one-of-a-kind, unrepeatable every time.
An attempt to artistically and performatively approach the atmosphere of nature’s destruction recently caused by the forest fires in Brazil, À Revelia stands as an act of revolt. As spectators of climatic tragedies and criminal acts orchestrated by a segment of Brazil’s rural society, which destroys vast territories of forests to turn them into pasture or genetically modified monocultures, we increasingly feel incapable of responding to the destructive actions of savage capitalism and its reckless maneuvers that annihilate life on the planet.
Aymberê (2019)
Amid evidence and enigma transit performatic sounds and images seeking to resize a cinematic sensorial experience into the field of experimentation. Aymberê reanimates spectres of a culture of the other in which civilizing acts of fascists, in this critical time in history, attempt to erase. Fire as a vital element against oblivion. The image burns.
Performance with 4xslide projectors + variable shutter and 2x16mm projectors
Carcará (2018)
Carcará is a work that presents images of foundfootage (archive) of Brazilian news from the 60s that culminates in the military coup of 64 in 16mm and alternates with images of loops of material found and painted, scratched with scratching and washing techniques in 35mm film And in others of 16mm in addition to films in super 8 made in other moments by the Duo Strangloscope that dialogue with this mosaic of events of a past of Brazil that returns as a ghost, in the current fascist moment.
The performance uses 2 Super 8 projectors, 2 16mm projectors, and 1 hand-cranked 35mm projector from the 1930s.
The sound was made live by the Musician / Performer Rodo Ramos
INSTALATION
Duo Espace Temps (2024)
[1 channel - film installation]
Thirteen meters of 16mm film, shot, hand-processed with sunflowers, and blue-tinted through traditional chemical immersion. Projected in a continuous loop using pulleys that stretch across the exhibition space — light, time, and vegetal matter unfolding in slow motion.
Vazios Habitados (2018)
Walden Street
2017 - VÍDEO
[2 channel - video installation]
Video is the perfect medium for melancholic meditations on the visible and the ephemeral. How to go through good or bad dreams - a solitary journey through a world in which images bring together the imaginary and the marvelous with all their possible combinations. A space in the limits of reality, but that inevitably refers to reality. Nature reconstituted by images?
We do not want to copy nature, we do not want to reproduce, we want to produce as a plant produces a fruit
