Rafael França | 29 – 31 October 2021
For this month’s FILM Programme, SOUTH SOUTH has partnered with Galeria Jaqueline Martins to show a selection of video works by renowned Brazilian artist Rafael França (1957-1991).
França was the forerunner in Brazil of experiments combining art and technology during the second half of the 20th century. In the 1980s, after doing installation, performance and urban intervention work in the group 3Nós3, he turned to innovative video art performances. His output subverted usual fictional forms, portraying himself and friends as challenging characters, manipulating elements such as the synchronism of speech, and altering the notions of time and space. Prematurely deceased in 1991, França addressed and complexified questions such as sexuality and the body, in artworks that were also characterized by intensive research into narrative possibilities.
