"The four videos are the result of a look into five simultaneous performances in predetermined locations and times, with audience engagement, on the opening day of the Psychoactive gallery - one specific film. In all, the 'constructions' we present were carved after filming it - during the editing - as an attempt to give an account of the images captured and how they connect to the performances. There was for us - filmmaker and artist - a concern with making visible the centrifugal energy proposed by the gallery. This was constructed during “Xifópagas Capilares”. The connection between cinematographic images and Tunga’s performances is always very enriching and influential . An enormous pleasure and challenge.” - Murilo Salles
