Reisen 2020
Reisen 2020
At the beginning of 2020, I applied to the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste, and the selection process required creating an artistic piece inspired by the phrase Früher oder Später. Reflecting on this theme, I produced a mini-documentary, combining footage I had previously taken in Switzerland with interviews I conducted specifically for this project in Brazil. The result was a philosophical short film exploring the climate crisis and our relationship with time.
The footage was captured using a cell phone and a GoPro, and I edited the film using HitFilm Express.
During the COVID pandemic, I decided to refurbish my bicycle. I had never done it before, so it became an artistic adventure I eagerly embraced. I chose the colors, created a stencil with the word vélo—which refers both bicycle and speed—and recorded the entire process on video.
Once finished, for the first time ever, I also created a trap beat and wrote some lyrics about my feelings toward the bicycle and the whole refurbishing experience. The final result is bizarre but, to me, very interesting.
I used FL Studio for music production, HitFilm Express for video editing, and Adobe Photoshop for the poster design. The footage was captured using a cell phone and a GoPro. I learned a lot throughout the process.
This was a stop-motion exercise assigned in an art course I took at the British School of Creative Arts. The theme was aliens, and I chose to develop a plot based on a fear I had since childhood.
I created 2D images using paper and captured the photos with a cell phone. Then, I edited the frames into an animated short film using the Windows 2010 Video Editor.
In 2024, some friends asked me to repair an old, abandoned guitar. I took it to a luthier, but he told me the instrument was of low quality and not worth the cost of restoration. However, knowing that a guitar’s true pleasure is to be played, I couldn't just leave it forgotten. Though damaged, it was still alive.
Determined, I decided to repair it myself and recorded the entire process, which turned out to be very successful.
The images were captured with a cell phone, the same device I used to record the audio of me playing the restored guitar. I edited the video using CapCut.
This project was a tribute to Euterpe, the Muse of Music.
This was an exercise assigned in the Audiovisual Aesthetic course, which I took during my bachelor’s degree at the School of Communications and Arts, University of São Paulo. The task was to explore the notion of spaces.
The project was produced in collaboration with my talented colleague Mario Rocha.
We captured the images using cell phones and edited the footage with Adobe Premiere.
This was an exercise assigned in the Audiovisual Aesthetic course, which I took during my bachelor’s degree at the School of Communications and Arts, University of São Paulo. The task was to explore the concept of time and develop a piece around the idea of a kiss that never happens.
As part of my creative process, I compiled a list of on-screen kisses from various countries and genres and conducted extensive searches on YouTube for references.
I used a cell phone for recording and edited the scenes using Windows 2010 Video Editor.
Maithê Britis, a talented dancer and dear friend of mine, invited me to collaborate on a series of video art pieces with her. I was honored to film her dancing in our hometown, Praia Grande, Brazil.
The creative process was entirely organic—we didn’t plan anything in advance. We simply went out with a cell phone camera and a music speaker and let the moment guide us. The result was an experimental piece that deeply reflects a particular moment in our personal lives.
I edited the footage using HitFilm Express.
The name Memórias Ecanas refers to memories connected to ECA, the School of Communications and Arts at the University of Sao Paulo. It is a project led by Professor Nassar, with the main goal of interviewing and collecting the stories of people who have passed through the school and contributed to its existence in some way.
In 2023, my colleagues and I interviewed Professor Marcelo Damasceno, who shared stories about his childhood and career, leading to his role as a professor at ECA. I was responsible for the editing, which I did using Adobe Premiere.
In 2014, I participated in a stop-motion production workshop for teenagers, promoted by Sesc Santos and Instituto Querô. During the workshop, we worked together to create a short movie while being introduced to the basics of scriptwriting, storyboarding, and other production concepts. We were divided into groups, each responsible for a specific number of characters and scenes. The characters were made from colored paper, and we took the photos using a professional camera. The experience was especially interesting because it gave us the opportunity to work in a team, led by experient teachers and, in the end, we saw a fun and successful result.
This was an exercise proposed by an art course I took at the British School of Creative Arts. We were supposed to make a list of our main references. My references seemed to be related specially to my childhood. My artistic references are those who make me who I am, beyond my art expression.
My exercise came out as an artistic instalation and video. The connections I propose between each piece of my list might not make sense at first sight. But they are deeply related when thinking about my personal experiences.
I used paper, an iron cage and a cellphone camera. For editing I used Hitfilm Express.
