O ovo

About This Movie

O ovo is one of those intriguing pieces that teeters on the edge of film and installation art. Created by Lygia Pape in 1967, this work invites viewers into a sensory experience with its vivid colors and geometric simplicity. Picture three cubes, each draped in layers of brightly colored plastic film. The act of entering the cube becomes a moment of exploration, a play of light and shadow that reflects Pape’s interest in space and viewer interaction. There’s a kind of meditative quality to it, as you lose track of time while moving within these forms. It’s not just a visual feast; it’s a thoughtful piece that challenges the boundaries of art and perception.

O ovo, while not widely distributed, has garnered interest among collectors due to its unique blend of visual art and film. The scarcity of materials and limited exhibition history adds to its intrigue. There's little in terms of home media releases, which makes finding it quite a treasure for those interested in experimental art films from the late 60s. Collectors often seek this piece as it represents a pivotal moment in Brazilian contemporary art.
