Rrose Sélavy (1997–2011)
Video installation; silkscreened newspaper pages, newspaper bales, three monitors, 10' video on a two-hour loop

InMade in Brasil”, organized by Arlindo Machado (São Paulo: Itaú Cultural; Iluminuras, 2007), Anna Bella Geiger states: “[…] a relationship between three elements: newspaper bales spread on the floor; the front page of local daily newspapers hung in chronological order throughout all of the surrounding space, while the content of the news is altered by the interference of the printed image by Rrose Sélavy. There are three monitors for a single video, which gradually slows down, and in slow motion one sees that Rrose’s image is being screen printed, and on it, the quasi-maps, camouflages.”

Citações

In “Anna Bella Geiger: territórios, passagens, situações” (Rio de Janeiro: Casa da Palavra; Anima Produções Culturais, 2007), Adolfo Montejo Navas, organizer of the book, says: “Wads of newspapers with a kaleidoscopic print — of smears-camouflage — combine with an androgynous image of Marcel Duchamp that serves to amplify the encountered and prompted interplay of news and art. Man Ray’s collage of the image of French Dadaist Marcel Duchamp, the graphic blotches, and the newspapers themselves as a medium are set up as in a game of disguises, mirroring each other in critical metaphors and metonyms […] The metaphor of printing is traversed from end to end by the game of art, with its exploration of movements […]”.
