Skin, inscribed
Curated by Tetsuya Maruyama
Just as a painter applies raw paint on a canvas, a filmmaker applies light(and other matters) on film strip. This hand-picked program features works produced at artist-run film labs (film laboratories by artists, for artists) scattered throughout the country, born from the vast and diverse geopolitical territories of Brazil. The relationship of physical sensations with plants and nature/ culture (humans), film-skin profaned as a tangible material, event that comes into being as ephemeral situation when it passes through a projector. This group of works, far from commercial “movies", emerge from the personal interests of each artist without expecting anything in return. Should it be called more appropriately as “photographs in action”?
