Described as "poetic philosophical fiction," João Maria Gusmão and Pedro Paiva’s 16mm film installations explore pseudoscience through an odd alchemical compound: equal parts early silent cinema, archaeological dig, and late-60s land art. The films are often performative and though suggestive of narrative, ultimately revel in illogical and surprising feats. Gusmão and Paiva will represent Portugal at the 53rd Venice Biennale.
