The film “Errante” is based on the construction process of the homonymous work by the artist HECTOR ZAMORA.
Using this creation as a basis, the film is constructed as a diary of sensations, thoughts, and ideas materialized in images, texts, and sounds. The film originates from immersions that follow the axis around the Tamanduateí River in the center of São Paulo (the location where the work will be installed). This diary reveals the various contrasts, parallels, and clashes that permeate the subjects of the film: “the artist” (Hector), “the work” itself (the trees that hover over the river), “the builders” (the various agents involved in the construction of the work), “the surroundings” (the location where the work will take place), “the agents of the surroundings” (people who pass through the location of the work: passerby/spectator), and finally “the gaze” (the interpretation of the work in the film).
The work intrinsically brings the poetic resignification of the margin. What happens “on the edges” can be everyday, common, banal, almost imperceptible. The architectural, monumental, artistic shock of the work will alter the perception that is usually at the center and not on the margins. We form a single social body and exchange, adapt, and recycle information so that this body continues to live and pulsate. The artist and the public are, at the same time, receivers and disseminators of artistic information.
