Inquieta

An intimate and introspective experimental film in which the author's anxious manias and worries are presented visually, without the need for sound. The movement of her fingers and mouth, both tearing the skin, accompanied by the images of her eyes show that even though it is sometimes involuntary, the author is aware of her manias and because they are present at every moment of her life, they are evident to those around her. Even when conscious, her manias are almost impossible to control, as the body is already programmed to surrender to the internal need to self-mutilate in order to relieve some of the anxiety.

Water is a Time Machine

"Water is a Time Machine" is a multilayered project surrounding the artist’s family members and their lives in Rio de Janeiro at the turn of the twentieth century, a time of political turmoil, which immediately followed the abolition of slavery. It also includes personal documents that belonged to the artist’s mother, her calendars and journals from the 70s, and an account of her death in 2011, which is the central piece and backbone of this work. Comprised of a fiction book, a video and a performance, it explores the intersections between literature and the visual arts. Between word and image, archive and fabulation, it reconfigures memories by using a nonlinear perception of time.

Aguyjevete Avaxa'i

The documentary celebrates the resumption of the planting of traditional maize varieties by the Guarani M'bya people in the Kalipety village, where there used to be a dry and degraded area, a result of decades of eucalyptus monoculture. Considered as one of the true foods that divine beings have in their heavenly homes, corn undergoes rituals and blessings from planting to harvest, when the village gathers to celebrate. Eating it keeps the vitality of human beings in balance, just like the deities.
