Not to say that I’m not ordinary
[Pra não dizer que também não sou ordinário]

synopsis

Urban conditions, no-way-out situations, shortcuts, ordinary things, ordinary life. ‘Deviations’ are avoided paths; ‘drifts’ are wanderings, involuntary movements; and ‘contours’ are long courses, not objective ways.

The video put in evidence some difficulties one would face in the social environment by trying to make sense and articulate possible responses from uneasy situations.

Deviations, drifts, contours, makes possible allusion to a wide range of video titles by artists such as Arthur Omar, Cao Guimarães, Carlos Magno, Carlos Nader, Eder Santos, Guillermo Cifuentes, Feitoamãos/FAQ group, Wagner Morales, César Migliorin, Patrick De Geetere, Shawn Gladwell as well as some previous own works, specially the ones which uses NOT in the title.

The work might also reference songs by Geraldo Vandré, Godspeed You Black Emperor, Gonzales, O Grivo and other ones unlikely to be easily identified
