The moving image is the main starting point for João Angelini's artistic research, which unfolds in videos, animations, objects, and performances. The artist revisits stop-motion, a traditional animation technique, creating films from a sequence of photographed images, or builds small installations with videos and mirror games that create optical illusions calling our perception to unveil the metaphorical narrative and the internal work processes. Through this type of strategy, the artist reworks and subverts the mechanisms behind the illusion of movement in the cinematographic image. Due to the diversity of his production, his works are regularly exhibited in different institutional environments such as cinemas, theaters, museums and art galleries.
