São Paulo, Brazil

In her videos and photographs, Claudia Briza (São Paulo, 1965) acts in incomplete scenarios, rearrangements of remains of sceneries from the backstage of the audiovisual field. It thus reveals the artificiality of the stage props, costumes and effects of light and movement, while unveiling and diverting the mechanisms that enable the spectator's projection and empathy by characters and cinematographic narratives. In the videos ‘The Egg of the Serpent’ and ‘The Hour of the Wolf’, the artist enters and leaves the frame, in front of projections of segments of filmmaker Ingmar Bergman’s classics, interacting with the speeches and actions that are unfolding in the film. If, in principle, there is a clear separation between the projection and her body, in the video, the artist integrates a same imagery field with the film of which it appropriates. In ‘The joy was always a hurry’, Briza imitates the gestures of Carmen Miranda, incarnation in the eyes of world of the tropical and joyous Brazil - that ended up succumbing to the imaginary force of her character.
