AT CINEMA PALACE LUMIERE
Within the context of the Contemporary Art Weekend, Sophie Nys will present the film Parque do Flamengo she made in 2011 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The film Parque do Flamengo is an experimental documentary whose main character is a park designed in Rio by the landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx between 1954 and 1959. Simultaneously a painter, sculptor, poet and botanist, Roberto Burle Marx is known as one of the greatest modernist landscape architects. The film Parque do Flamengo is a 45 minutes uncut travelling shot and represents the whole of the park as an isolated entity. As a stroll, the route follows the curved and sensual line of the park. The musician Arto Lindsay conceived an original soundtrack for the film, using the list of plants featured in the park as a starting point for this new composition.
