Aépta

A film about Poesia Viva, an idealized street art happening/event directed by Paulo Bruscky and Unhandeijara Lisboa, on March 14 (National Day of Poetry in Brazil), where people were dressed as letters and the surface of the floor was the pages.

Film made through the xerographic process (xerofilme), opening a new field for cartoon and experimental cinema. The film is the xero/graphic recording where the artist burned various materials over a copy machine´s surface and then filmed, frame by frame (or scene by scene), the result of the experiment.

This film documents the completion of an art project by Paulo Bruscky in the street, which consists of the reopening of the Boa Vista bridge, built in 1633. The artist placed a huge pink ribbon with a bow on the bridge entrance, sidewalk and pedestrian crossing, causing traffic congestion in the city center for several minutes and creating unusual situations for passers-by.
