Bronze Revirado. 2011
Video color con sonido (4 min 52 sec, looped)
Pablo Lobato deals with given situations and unpredictable materials, via an economy of gestures that echoes his experience in documentary film. Bronze Revirado shows a festive bell ringing in a church tower in São João del Rey, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Weighing approximately one ton, the bell is pushed by the bell ringers’ bodies until, with increasing speed, it turns on its axis for a few minutes. The video brings us closer to actions that are usually heard but not seen, revealing a performance in contrast to its religious connotations: the bell ringers’ violent, abrupt, repetitive, and physically dangerous efforts seem almost like a pagan trance.
