Alternative Cinema: Skin, inscribed, with artist and curator Tetsuya Maruyama

Wednesday, April 16, 2025 4:30–5:30 PM

Description

Skin, inscribed: A selection of contemporary Brazilian hand-processed filmsArtist and curator Tetsuya Maruyama will discuss contemporary practices by Brazilian artists working with analog film. The talk will be followed by a hand-picked program featuring works produced at artist-run film labs (film laboratories by artists, for artists) spread across Brazil’s vast and diverse geopolitical landscapes. Just as a painter applies raw paint on a canvas, a filmmaker applies light (and other matter) on a film strip. In these works, film is profaned as a tangible material, an event that comes into being as an ephemeral situation when it passes through a projector. Should they be called — more appropriately — “photographs in action”?Co-sponsored by the Art Department
