The city is a contested space. Shot on Kodak’s Super 8 TRI-X black-and-white film, 'The Body of the City' is a video art piece that offers unexpected answers to how the body can relate to the urban landscape. The film was screened at the Super 8 International Film Festival at the São Paulo Cultural Center (CCSP) in 2023.

An experimental, visual, and poetic study about bodies, stitches, and repair. A sensory exploration of fragmentation and reconstruction. The body, real or symbolic, is treated as a surface to be opened, sutured, and reimagined. Using textures, objects, and silent rituals, the film contemplates the tension between vulnerability and resilience, between decay and the desire to mend. It is not about narrative, but about sensation. Not about answers, but about the act of touching what is broken.
