About
Working together for a decade, Bárbara Wagner (b. 1980, Brasília, Brazil) and Benjamin de Burca (b. 1975, Munich, Germany) produce films and video installations that feature protagonists engaged in cultural production. The duo typically collaborates with non-actors to make their films, from writing scripts to staging performances on camera. The resulting works are marked by economic conditions and social tensions present in the contexts in which they are filmed, giving urgency to new forms of self-representation through voice, movement, and drama.
Installed on the Third Floor, “Five Times Brazil” will focus on five projects developed by the artists during a period of socio-political turmoil in Brazil: Faz que vai [Set to Go] (2015) focuses on four dancers whose practices complicate Brazilian traditions; Estás vendo coisas [You are seeing things] (2016) delves into the landscape of Brega music in Recife; Terremoto Santo [Holy Tremor] (2017) investigates the accelerated growth of evangelical religions; Swinguerra (2019), commissioned for the Brazilian Pavilion in the 58th Venice Biennale, looks into popular dance competitions; and a new piece features a theater group associated with the Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (Landless Workers’ Movement)—an organization that fights for land reform and against social inequities affecting rural workers in Brazil.
