Arte Cemiterial

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.

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.

Poema (Poem): Visual poetry. A film where the corner is the film and the film is the corner.

Film made through the xerographic process, opening up a new field for animation and experimental cinema. This xerofilm reveals the artist’s bodily relationship with the Xerox machine.

This performance, in which all players are against each other by playing with the LogicAcaso (neologism for Logic/Chance), defeats the question of the winners and the losers and values the exercise of individual and collective freedom. After a while, a second ball is thrown into the field and the game is played with two balls. In addition to New York, this performance also took place in Recife in 2012 and in Belo Horizonte in 2013.

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.

Experimental xerofilm shot on Super 8 and made in New York in 1982, developed from experiments with moving sewing threads over a slide mount frame, projected onto a color Xerox machine through a mirror. Mutations and effects arise from alterations also produced by the machine, together with chance. The xerofilm opens a new field for animation and experimental cinema.

Bruscky wanders around Amsterdam in search of phallic symbols.

Entering the virtual world of “Second Life”, Brazilian visual artist Paulo Bruscky meets film director Gabriel Mascaro. Mascaro, an ex-film film director from north-east Brazil currently lives and works making machinima (virtual short films) in the “Second Life”. Paulo hires Gabriel to make a machinima documentary of his adventures as a newcomer to the “Second Life”.

Experimental film made with television images out of the air.

Eight people dressed in overalls, carrying mirrors (1mx0.40m) and walking in the rank of the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo (MAM-SP) and in the site of the Biennale, interacting and reflecting the audience. According to Paulo Bruscky: “the artists, with their mirrors and their silences, collect fragments of landscapes and passengers of QuotidiArte. The art in transit and in all senses.”

The artist uses an electroencephalograph and offers a direct graphic work of the brain on paper without using the hands as intermediates of the drawings.
