Bill Viola e Ken Loach, com Inês Lobo

The ninth episode of #TelaHabitada is on the air. In the voice of Inês Lobo, we travel between past, emerging and prospective times, between physical spaces and those that are configured between matter.
Inês contextualises us through the density of Italo Calvino’s work to take us to the work of Bill Viola. In this universe, she is fascinated by the symbolic power of the image and the beauty of the imponderable.
She ends by using Ken Loach’s mastery to prove that only art can awaken us and help us to know ourselves as humanity. Bill Viola’s works and Ken Loach’s films are ‘made with us’.
