Solo exhibition Ana Vaz: É NOITE NA AMÉRICA [IT’S NIGHT IN AMERICA]

The exhibition presents, besides other works, an installation version of the homonymous film, directed by the artist. The film is a tale of eco-terror freely inspired by the reading of the book 'A cosmopolítica dos animais', by the Brazilian philosopher Juliana Fausto. In 'IT'S NIGHT IN AMERICA' we follow the paths and detours of wild animals, fugitives from the destruction of the Brazilian savannah in the middle of modern Brasília. Filmed entirely on reels of expired 16mm film and with the cinematographic technique of the American night (day by night), the grim plot of the arrival and survival of this fleeing fauna in search of refuge on a "planet with many refugees and few refuges", in the words of Juliana Fausto quoting Donna Haraway, is narrated.
