In the third edition of Caderno Videobrasil, guest editor Paula Alzugaray takes on concepts from the 16th International Contemporary Art Festival Sesc_Videobrasil that reverberate in essays about the role of experimentation in contemporary audiovisual production.
The filmmaker Carlos Adriano proposes a poetical-historical method for the appreciation of experimental audiovisual production in Brazil. Lisette Lagnado, curator of the 27th São Paulo Biennial, looks for echoes of Hélio Oiticica’s Cosmococa in current productions. Jean-Paul Fargier describes television as an accelerator of particles and narratives. Peter Greenaway hails the cinema that succeeds the death of cinema as we know it. Limite, by Mario Peixoto, is discussed in an essay by Jorge la Ferla, and Esther Hamburguer is the theme of Cao Guimarães’ storyless road movie. This issue also features collaborations from Kenneth Anger and André Costa.
