# APRIL 2014
dears,
I'm happy to release to you my last video work
um funk pra pássaros (a funk for birds) (video, 20min), concluding my residency in
baracco #55, in rio de janeiro. the work is a result of my investigation about the kites of the complexo do alemão, favela of the north zone of the city.
the video is a letter to a friend, about kites, their handmade production and the people who practice its. but mainly the question are how the kites talk about the relation between the favela and the authorities? and how this simple game can be a poetical resistance of the inhabitants?
here the video:
