Cristiano Lenhardt

Bawdy and bizarre, Brazilian artist Cristiano Lenhardt’s newest video draws both from his country’s indigenous history and legacy of modernism. Underneath its utopian philosophy and the rigid organization of its architecture and design, there lurks the mischievous Sací, a mythical character famous for pranks and disorder. The fantastic collision between reality and myth belies a deeper consideration of origin, identity, and memory. (9:40 mins., super 8mm film transferred to video)

Recommended for mature audiences.
