Caio Reisewitz - Ituporanga
12/05/2010 — 03/08/2011
SESC Belenzinho, São Paulo, SP
From the proposal of occupying the SESC Belenzinho area in Sao Paulo, the artist Caio Reisewitz developed an innovating work for his standards, where photography and video formed a large installation. After doing historical research, a space, which reproduced the geographical nature of the neighborhood where SESC is located, was recreated. The artist created the image of a large waterfall, which was put on a huge glass window, creating a backlight effect. A video in constant movement as well as a waterfall, which gives the impression of not being still. In this work as well as in others, it’s possible to notice that the artist is interested in the issue of what is and isn’t true and the illusions that may be created from that.
Ituporanga, which means waterfall in Tupi, plays with this idea. The artist was able to experiment and go through new poetic forms through his main work material, which are technical images. This installation was part of a proposal, which stimulates the contact with contemporary art, provoking a different audience’s (such as the SESC audience) sensations and imagination.
