Visual artist of video art and photography debuts weekly format on his instagram
Alone and indoors. A certain social isolation has always been part of the reality of Jaque Jolene. Unlike the pandemic situation in which the world finds itself, she opted for solitude. "But it is complete in itself", account Márcia Beatriz Granero, independent artist who created this character full of suspense and sarcasm ten years ago in his video art and photography works. His works have been shown in numerous international exhibitions and festivals, but now decided to publish on social networks. “It's an experimental format, but I was very interested to know what’s going on in my character’s head right now” says Márcia Beatriz who debuts, day 18 de Mayo, the “Jaque em Casa” series on Instagram @marciabeatrizgranero.
With short weekly episodes, the series is a tribute to art curators who have gone through Márcia Beatriz's career. In video calls format, the pieces reveal Jaque with his mute and mysterious pattern, through experiences shared by these women. Priscila Arantes and Paula Braga are among the guests and Alessandra Falbo opens the series next week, directly from lockdown of London.
