MARLON DE AZAMBUJA: concrete Movement

For his second solo show at Galeria Marilia Razuk, Marlon de Azambuja presents a selection of works,  among videos and a series of black paintings that result from his research related to architecture and its representations. The exhibition titled MovimentoConcreto (Concrete Movement) brings the namesake work formed by a series of videos made on Avenida Paulista (Sao Paulo) in 2009, in which the photographer moves the camera to get a sensual balance of buildings, referring to dancing and masturbation and playing with the concept of stability offered by a city.

Multimedia artist, Marlon uses various languages, such as photography, collage, drawing, video,sculpture and installation for small "transgressions" in the public space and exhibition space itself, inviting the viewer to reflect on the possibilities of establishing new relations with the surroundings.
