18th Impakt Festival 29.03 - 01.04  (03/27/2007)

The 18th Impakt Festival will be held from the 29th of March through to the 1st of April 2007 with various locations in the city of Utrecht staging a wide variety of sound and media arts. Like in previous editions, the Impakt Festival offers visitors a startling mix of music, film and video, extraordinary exhibitions, discussions, panel meetings and presentations of internet art. The artists represented with their work at the Impakt Festival explore the boundaries of the audiovisual media while looking for new prospects and applications. In their work, the represented artists express their critical view on our media landscape and reflect on our visual culture in a characteristic and discerning way.


0778 man.road.river, Marcellvs L. (Brazil, 2004, 9:27 min)
In order to produce his images, Marcellvs seems to be in an ambiguous zone, combining attention, belief, and detachment. The contingency of capturing these events (or near-events) is fundamental to the production of the videos. Nevertheless, there is no belief in the illusion that just looking at the world would be enough for it to reveal itself.

27ª Bienal de São Paulo  (12/04/2006)

Interview for the Bienal's Catalogue with Marcellvs L. by Rodrigo Moura.

Rodrigo Moura: You have been shooting film at the beach, on the water, and in other scenarios that you find interesting, such as the city. How do you relate to the locations at which you shoot?

there may be a quest for an encounter. for a horse. for history. for a misgiving. or for a picture. yet each moment gives forth an accident for perception. a mystery, therefore. a place where everything is ajumble. where everything slips. and produces new meanings. the world is transformed tirelessly and inexhaustibly. i can assert new realms of value every moment. they’ll produce meaning on their own. imponderably. regardless of the work statement and the way in which it is carried out. it was windy. in a nearby town i had spotted a chimney belching white smoke. i could no longer find it. coming back i turned onto a street. it was flooded. i came to a halt, observing/taking part in that flowing time. i switched on the camera, creating vibrational spaces. a man waded the flooded street, the camera batteries were fully charged, so i shot a footage. of history. in the present. in the indicative mood, from singular person of the subject to plural verb: i are.

RM: One significant aspect of your work is that it follows apparently strict prescriptions, such as the fixed camera and unedited, single shot sequences per video. On the other hand, you resort to recording effects and manipulate the audio–together with a member
of the band pexbaA–, though still using direct recording for background.

i deafly spot a man fishing. immediate associations come up. as aloof as stars in the sky, we follow our path. we might consider a suppression of the high-pitched and medium sound frequencies. letting the audio come in through the floor. rocking with its vibration. this may arise from the encounter of tide and sand and/or from a specific technical notion. here the camera is not dissociated from computer. i am interested in the physical strength of these combinations. a timing policy that ignores minutes. the tripod that is overwhelmed by subjectivity and loses its footing. all this produces meaning in the course of production. on a bias. mixed. juxtaposed. interrupted. i build a rigid picture. objective. leaning against a boat stuck on the sand. i wait for the rising tide, then gradually surrender all objectivity to the ocean. each method is a different instrument. it’s great not have a regular way of living.

RM: You produce your videos practically alone. You record, edit, copy, and distribute them. What does independence mean to you?

urgency. the ability to admire the beauty of fire. yet coming out scorched. producing with the tools we have is always a possibility. do it yourself. the issue is not to free ourselves from something. but discovering what this freedom is for. every aesthetic act is political and ethical. no matter how small, spontaneous acts assert truths that are more revealing and bombastic than any established system.

44th New York Film Festival  (12/04/2006)

The Tenth Annual Views from the Avant-Garde
A Special Presentation of the 44th New York Film Festival
October 7, 8 & 15, 2006

0778 man.road.river Marcellvs l, Brazil, 2004; 9m

man.road.river introduces a space that is viscous and indeterminate. An image is an aspic, and an adhesive in which an event is held in a optical resemblance that creates difference according to its luxuriance or degradation, its infidelities to the original event. There is always something missing as well as added, insinuated into the copy. The quality and character of movement in a moving image is redefined by its residence inside the given texture of the medium and the precise nature of the shot. Passing time moves with and against that texture and within the length of a shot builds up it’s own “cabin pressure.” Its natural measure attenuated by minute resistances and frictions and the grade of the slope, just as we might swim or climb depending on the medium we are confronting. This friction in turn perturbs or compounds the texture through its force and abrasion. In man.road.river different bodies and mediums come into contact. The man fords the shallows of an overflowing river and walks thorough a compressed depth of field without altering his course or increasing his limited awareness of the image to which he contributes a central energy. Elements cohere or at least cling in confusion and the witnessed event is rendered as something else, a version of what occurred and the concretization of a mirage, something that never occurred (externally) until it passed through the lens. The ephemeral saved and held in captivity is made to repeat itself in terms that are natural enough but unevenly translated. A recognizable shape but unidentified
man emerged from a walking chrysalis ( globular soft focused and near sepia )into greater definition and scale. The man continues unimpeded down the road. Out of frame, out of mind. – Ana Silviera
