The arm man and the man arm
video
Co-authored with André Parente - 1978, 6min. ½ inch pack holder
Camera: André Parente and Letícia Parente
Synopsis
You can see the image of a neon advertisement of a man's body from the waist up, stretching and contracting one of his arms, in a symbolic gesture of showing strength. (It's an ad for a gym.)
After a few minutes with this scene, a man appears with a naked torso, from the waist up, moving his arm in the same way. As the gesture is repeated, the man demonstrates fatigue and does not sustain the rhythm by encouraging the movement.
