Singing of the waters
A visual piece, a short film: 00:02:58, that brings the image of a waterfall.
With this piece, I want to activate the sense that nature and its waters are channels of connections with the creative force, and that the waters can tell their own story, beyond an antropocenic relation with the wild nature. As an indigenous person myself, I do with this piece, an ode to the feminine spirit of the waters, which give us life, and the life of indigenous peoples is intimately connected to the life of wild nature.
This piece is part of a concept I called:
Overflowing lines
1. The concept of Overflowing lines emerged in 2010, during a storm that caused several people to camp together under a large blue canvas tent.
2. Because the ground of the blue tent, which sheltered everyone, was quite steep, some people who took care of the tent began to dig cracks in the ground, creating channels through which rainwater could flow, and by doing that, it wouldn't overflow into the big tent.
3. That's when occurred to me to think of overflowing lines.
4. I thought that an overflowing needs lines that give it a passage through.
5. I thought about nature.
6. In nature, overflowing lines can be thought as the happening of a river.
7. Rivers flow into seas and oceans.
8. The waterfalls.
9. Waterfalls are like the intimate meeting point of a river with rocks, caves and mysteries. The depths.
10. In a waterfall, there is an energy peak, generated by the movement of the water, capable of activating creative senses.
11. Art.
12. Art is a way to create giving a passage trough a form of overflowing line.

I am sonic and visual artist, weaver and curator.
I compose sonic and visual pieces, sonic films, tales, stories and imaginations; I research the practice of experimental cinema and the survival of images, their presence, appearances, persistence, their generational transmissions and their movement in the fabric of space-time and beyond.
I was born and raised in Jequié-Maracás, in Bahia. I have Kiriri-Tupinambá indigenous peoples origin.
I currently live and work in São Paulo Capital City and I'm studying Fine Arts at USP-University of São Paulo.
