A
rainy morning in Rio de Janeiro; film as a membrane, a memory veil, imprinted
by the body and the environment. The title is a reference to the performative
cloaks/capes of the late Brazilian artist Hélio Oiticica, made of various
materials including fabric, paper, and plastic. This handmade film is made with
reclaimed pigments and physical processes including spraying, scratching,
staining, and marking.
