This animation is an exercise in visual exploration that starts from the reappropriation and reinterpretation of Concrete Poetry, a literary and artistic movement that emerged in Brazil in the 1950s whose precept was the exploration of the graphic aspects of poetry, where the writer intended to fill in the blank space offered by the paper, through an intimate relationship between word, sound and image.
For this exercise, this concept is explored through new elements and techniques that bring movement, color and intensity, creating a dialogue with Concrete Poetry in the contemporary age.

Poster of an illustration that expresses the concept of hypalage, a figure of speech present in the Portuguese language, which is characterized by the mismatch between the grammatical function and the logical function of words, in terms of semantics, in order to create a transposition of meanings. For the exercise in poster format, we started with a contextualized sentence that uses the hypalage resource in its construction: "the eyes burned in a furious red".

“After a seven days’ march through woodland, the traveler directed toward Baucis cannot see the city and yet he has arrived. The slender stilts that rise from the ground at a great distance from one another and are lost above the clouds support the city. You climb them with ladders. On the ground the inhabitants rarely show themselves: having already everything they need up there, they prefer not to come down. Nothing of the city touches the earth except those long flamingo legs on which it rests and, when the days are sunny, a pierced, angular shadow that falls on the foliage.
There are three hypotheses about the inhabitants of Baucis: that they hate the earth; that they respect it so much they avoid all contact; that they love it as it was before they existed and with spyglasses and telescopes aimed downward they nev- er tire of examining it, leaf by leaf, stone by stone, ant by ant, contemplating with fascination their own absence.”
Illustration and animation of Bauci, one of the cities from the book "Invisible Cities" by Italo Calvino. The exercise consisted of creating a representative image that would appear on a postcard of the city.
