Audiovisual production of artist goiano Paulo Fogaça

Abstract

Photography, video, photocopy, fax, computer and audiovisual - slides synchronized with the sounds of cassettes - were some media, based on the technical image, appropriated by some brazilian artists in the 1970s in Brazil. I highlight in this article three audiovisual works produced by the goiano artist Paulo Fogaça (1936 -): Bichomorto, Hieróglifos and Campo Cerrado. The objective is to point the dialogue between the constituent images of these audiovisuals with the artistic moment, immersed in experimental researches, both imagistic and sonorous, and also with the political, which was the military dictatorship. I emphasize the recurrent presence of the barbed wire image as a discursive element of the restrictive context that loomed over the Brazilian society of the time, both because of its physical and objective qualities, that is, of use.
