In Porto Alegre, the building of the Iberê Camargo Foundation; in the city of Porto, the office of Álvaro Siza, the architect and author of the celebrated project for the institution's headquarters, inaugurated in 2008. Throughout 70 minutes, the documentary "Paisagem Concreta" or Concrete Landscape navigates between these two ports.
Overlooking the D'Ouro River, the architect, amidst a series of cigarette breaks, delves into the intricacies of the design of the Gaúcho Museum, sharing his deep emotional connection with Brazil. This connection was rooted in his childhood through the stories of his father, who was born in Belém (PA), and nurtured by modernism, Brazilian popular music (MPB), and soap operas. He also contemplates the blurred boundaries between architecture and nature, all while taking us on a visual journey through celebrated works such as the Piscinas das Marés, the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Porto, and the Nadir Afonso Museum. Additionally, the documentary includes testimonials from Portuguese collaborators and critics.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, the behind-the-scenes of the installation of the "Fio de Ariadne" exhibition unfolds, showcasing the unique ceramics and tapestries of Iberê Camargo. Collaborators from the Iberê Foundation and contemporary architects reflect on the future of this concrete landscape rooted on the banks of the Guaíba.
Paisagem Concreta is a documentary directed by Laura Artigas and Luiz Ferraz, with cinematography by André Scarpa and Manuel Sá.
