Appli Cative Necroliberalism

Abstract

This article seeks to reflect on the creative process of the author, making a brief cut about the video Apli Cativo Necroliberalismo (2020). Faced with the pandemic of the Covid 19 virus, images were taken through the windows of an apartment from the perspective of the quarantine, so a poetics was created registering deliverers who worked with applications in the city. If a priori the typical mimesis of videographic language would be present, a posteriori anamorphosis and sound interference were performed in post-production. In this way, a necessary dialogue was established with the thoughts of authors who reflected on the dystopian moment of the pandemic, such as Achille Mbembe and Vladimir Safatle or on political art, like Georges Didi-Huberman and Hall Foster. Approaches and distances were also made with some videos by the artist Cao Guimarães.
