• Abstract:

  This article analyzes some movements in Brazilian cinema and video art that potentiated connections between documentary and the visual arts. Based on experimental cinematographic works by Arthur Omar and Glauber Rocha, it is understood how experimental cinema created a close relationship with Brazilian artistic fields. Video art emerges as an important means of passage from the movie theater to the galleries. Artists use portable cameras to produce video work. Motivated by the movements of French cinema verité and the ease of direct sound, documentary aspects are incorporated into these videos, producing a large amount of work that transits between documentary and the visual arts. This passage can be understood through the study of works by Sandra Kogut, Walter Silveira and Eder Santos. It is thus understandable that the entry of the moving image and the documentary in the galleries has permeated contemporary art exhibitions in recent years.
