Descripción de la Exposición
Video Performance, One channel digital video; 25 minutes total running time; color; sound.
Ungovernable aims to record performances that are not displayed live in public. It seeks alternative contexts, working with bodies with and without artistic education.
The goal is to research and articulate the "short duration" of the performance in the interlacement with people and spaces along with the permanence and temporality of "long duration" movements of the registered work. To produce Ungovernable the artist establishes meetings with the participant. These meetings can take part in different types of spaces: private/closed, institutional public spaces and non institutional public spaces, using different performance elements that come either from what Quintanilha observes in relation to the person/participant; from the proprietary space or from a random idea: historical materials, memories, images, words derived from the multiplicity of the social net.
Ungovernable wants to occupy space in relationship to “face to face” and the "other", without denying the otherness of the public which, conversely, can appropriate itself (or not) of the project looking at it into their eyes.
This project intends and needs to create maps of interactions in a linear way between the factors involved: character/place/camera. The practicality is the result of Ungovernable, but prior to this the development of a relational experiment emerges using performance as pretext. – “I want to meet people, I want to have the video and I want to create this new transit between me and the participant in a specific space, whatever this space is”, Quintanilha quotes.
Pasinho was worked in collaboration with performers Daniela Pinheiro and Glamour Garcia. It was filmed in 2015 at PUC (Catholic University Sao Pablo) and Casa do Povo Cultural Center, located in the neighborhood of Bom Reti, Sao Pablo – Brazil.
