Ab Nach/ Aos cuidados de (2014)

Ellen Nunes and Mariana Heredia

Two-channel video installation

Dimensions variable

Ab Nach / Aos cuidados de is a month-long project, a visual dialogue between two artists across continents. From my perspective in São Paulo, I engaged in a daily exchange with Mariana Heredia, an artist based in Kassel, Germany, as we sent each other one-minute films. Weaving an emotional landscape from a thousand miles apart, the films served as nonverbal postcards, capturing the fleeting moments and routines of each city.

The work culminates in two simultaneous installations where our films are projected and layered, allowing the separate urban spaces to visually converge and interact. This deliberate superimposition of images creates a single, blended reality that challenges the viewer's perception of distance, memory, and connection.
