- I work on the frontiers between cinema, visual arts, theater, dance, music, and literature, often in collaboration with other artists. I was part of some collectives and I directed films in duo or trios. As I mention before, during the pandemic situation I collaborated with other artists out of distance, also with artists that I didn’t knew before, and it was really enriching. I love this feeling when some “accidents or contaminations” happens in the path of creation, and this often happens while working with different people: what could remain of this “friction”.
- “As Incríveis Wulk”, is a project of small audiovisual pills, or comic strips, whether gif’s, micro videos or photographs with drawing intervention. The story revolves around five women who suffered serious genetic mutations, under different circumstances, and ended up meeting in the city of São Paulo, the Selva de Pedras Brasileira. The genetic mutations suffered by these women give them superhuman powers, which make them supposedly invincible. However, they deal with their existential problems, socio-behavioral and some physiological dysfunctions.
