Transition, 2022
by Tetsuya Maruyama

One frame to another. One tree to another. One life to another. Transition.
- Tetsuya Maruyama

Tetsuya Maruyama (Yokohama, 1983) is an artist whose interdisciplinary practice includes film, performance, sound, installation and everything between. His work departs from re-contextualization of found banal materials and textures, as a liminal record of quotidian observations. He received BS Arch from University of Buffalo(2007) and certificate in Montage and Editing of Image and Sound from Escola de Cinema Darcy Ribeiro(2016). His works have been exhibited widely at festivals, museums, and galleries, including Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival, MUTA, Slavonian Biennial, Kurtzfilm Hamburg, Dobra, Dresdner Schmalfilmtage, Chicago Underground Film Festival, Istanbul International Experimental Film Festival, Process, Mono no Aware, Kunstbezirk Stuttgart, Bienal de la Imagen en Movimiento, Cámara Lúcida, MAM Rio de Janeiro, Cinemateca Uruguaya, among others. Inspired by the Haitian folktale of the same title, his debut-feature “The Owl’s Tale”, won the best film award at VIII Festival Márgenes (Madrid, Spain) in 2018. Maruyama currently lives in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he founded Megalab, an artist-run film lab, and continues to work in its proximity to nature.

With this series we ask that each presenting artist identify a non-profit they wish to bring attention to and support through this screening Tetsuya has selected Movimento de Trabalhadores Sem Teto.

The Homeless Workers Movement (MTST) has been organising workers from the peripheries of large cities in the struggle for their rights for 22 years, especially the right to decent housing. During those years, more than 55 thousand families have already gone through the Movement’s occupations. They are people who could no longer bear the high burden of rent, lived within risk areas, have been evicted, or lived in borrowed homes and placed their hopes in MTST.

OPEN AIR SCREENING SERIES:
The OPEN AIR SCREENING SERIES allows for 16mm film projection viewing with social and physical distance guidelines in place. 16mm film prints are projected, on loop, from dusk until dawn. Each artist receives an honorarium to support their practice and a new print of the work struck at MONO LAB. Each artist is asked to select a non-profit for a portion of the proceeds to benefit, a donation will be made in their name. And, YOU the audience are invited to enjoy the work, take part in the conversation and we ask that you consider making a donation as it directly supports the artist and the organization with which they share concern.
