Adriana Varejão – Between Flesh and Oceans, by Andrucha Waddington and Pedro Buarque de Hollanda

Event Slider

This documentary, presented in the context of the exhibition 'Paula Rego and Adriana Varejão: Between Your Teeth', is the result of five years of filming encounters, exhibitions and discussions about the work of Adriana Varejão.

‘Between Flesh and Seas’ focuses on the unique body of work by the Brazilian artist, drawing on footage collected over many years on locations that are deeply connected with her artistic narrative – from Inhotim, home to her permanent gallery, to Ouro Preto, Salvador and the Recôncavo region of Bahia, as well as Hong Kong, the United States and Portugal.

Employing a Direct Cinema style, directors Andrucha Waddington and Pedro Buarque de Hollanda unveil the creative process, the established connections, and the various references present in the work of Adriana Varejão.

The film is followed by a conversation with the artist, director Pedro Buarque de Hollanda and curator Victor Gorgulho.
