The vertigos in the urban landscape take the Birdman back to his origins, in a metaphor about life cycles. "Birdman" is a film from the poetic nature of Brazilian singer, Ney Matogrosso. During the 70's dictatorship, he broke sexual taboos with a "strange" behavior on stage and became one of the most famous brazilian singers. Inspired in Cassiano Ricardo's concrete poems and the experimental music of Ney's repertoire, "Birdman" explores a sound and visual lyrical aesthetic of high contrasts that approximates man to nature's feelings.

“Breaking up a loving relationship implies the sensation of our self-awareness loss. Despite the banalization of media and the experiences around love, the break-up is still a wound where the shattered individual pulses. I have created the Broken Heart Museum social network and collected anonymous testimonies through Skype as poetical material to develop this cartography of love.”
