THE TUNNEL (english version)


The Tunnel is the first collaboration started in 2005 between the Brazilian visual artist César Meneghetti and the poet Carlos Nejar, one of the few Brazilian writers to be nominated for the Literature Nobel prize in 2001. This work is also the first of a new series of intersemiotic videos by Meneghetti. The Tunnel is also a metaphor used very frequently in his work and making the video were a natural consequence. The Tunnel were first presented at the 51 Venice Biennale, Isle of poetry curated by Achille Bonito Oliva and in the tramonto latinoamericano event curated by Antonio Arevalo.

MOTOBOY TRAILER


Everyday at least one Brazilian motorcycle courier (MOTOBOY) dies in the streets while working. They leave in the grey asphalt a hope of a better life. For a pizza, a document, a pack of marijuana, a human organ, a pregnant woman in labour that will never arrive at destination. The film flows among the testimonies of other MOTOBOYS and slowly become one only voice, the dreams, fears, the drama and the hopes of them all, of we all. Traffico e disoccupazione hanno reso il lavoro delle consegne in moto nell'occupazione più diffusa tra i giovani di San Paolo, in Brasile. Ogni giorno, almeno due motoboys si schiantano nel traffico. Alcuni testimoni raccontano uno dei tanti incidenti. Il punto di vista si sposta, i fatti cambiano, le verità si moltiplicano, non tutto è come sembra. Tra finzione e realtà, la storia di un motoboy paulistano a cui viene sottratta l'unica opportunità di condurre una vita onesta, sotto lo sguardo cinico e interessato di chi non ha proprio nulla da perdere. filmemotoboy.blogspot.com

PROMO L'INCONTRO


l 7 giugno 1964 tutta Bologna seguì con il fiato sospeso la partita di spareggio contro l'Inter.

ROMEVIDEO


ROMEVIDEO is an attempt to display simultaneously in one single time/space axis, a complex and layered reality where evolution and modernity cannot divide from history and past. A two channel projection, a dual vision in parallel, two different looks of the same city, not an ordinary journey through famous images but a rescue of edge zones we watch but rarely see. ARTISTIC STATEMENT ROMEVIDEO - between past present, private political, hope disenchantment, urban centre suburbia, idyll struggle, night day, film video - was commissioned by RECYCLART lab of Brussels in the show CARTOLINA ROMA, about the European capitals, Paris (2001), Berlin (2002) and Roma (2003) portrayed by artists, directors, writers, photographers, in a public space of urban confrontation. In 12 minutes a dual vision in parallel two different looks of the same city and rhythm, but one aside the other they fuse in a third life that through Rome wishes to speak about the world, the human being and his contradictions. In a passage without time: historic, oneiric and real, subjective and objective. The video installation project takes some roman ancient literature's texts as a starting point. In particular "Saturae Menippeae" by Marco Terenzio Varrone (107 BC - 27 BC), the father of the roman erudition, in some of his 620 books (Sextagesis - the 60 year old man), that imagines of being sleeping since he was a child of ten years old. When he wakes up he is 60 and sees the world as if was the first time and <b>...</b>

ATTACK 2 channel videointallation


SYNOPSIS ATTACK is a two-channel video installation made for the Biennale Adriatica di Arti Nuove in San Benedetto del Tronto, Italy that took place in August 2006. ATTACK is a bi-dimensional work, a visual one between two diverse and opposed subjects and a web-based one by means of a regularly updated blog. Attack inspiration originates from the idea of Raid, an incursion, a violent encounter between contrasting realities. While the spectator is placed in-between a virtual crossfire, a digital clock counts the amount of immigrant deaths in the US-Mexican border in the last five years. ARTISTIC STATEMENT A projection of a contemporary image on a wall: a street child sniffing glue, while casting a quick glance, a corrosive and subliminal call. On the opposite wall: a cowboy of the past century (taken from the film The Great Train Robbery by Edwin S.Porter, dating 1903) shooting with a revolver at the opposite screen. The watcher is in-between these two video-projections, as if he/she is put in between 100 years of history, or 5000 years of human conflicts. A recurrent dull sound can be heard in the black space. Loop sequencing, slowed to the extreme, symbolize the wish to participate in the encounter-clash between two stereotypes of power, but also the attack-defense of the two opponents in a raid. BIENNIAL CURATOR'S TEXT In Maria Rosa Jijon and Cesar Meneghetti's the public is fully involved in the action developed by the characters represented in the video installation <b>...</b>
