Vik Muniz

I had seen his clouds project before, but I didn't know much more about the work of this Brazilian artist. He seems fascinating.
"I draw with sugar. I draw with wire, thread, things that are very bad to make representations... I don't want people to simply see representations fo someting. I want them to feel how it happens. The moment of that embodiment is what I consider a spiritual experience."
The Times published an article on his chocolate syrup drawings back in 98. And since then he hasn't stopped. You can see all his work in his personal site.. He is co-founder of Blind Spot. And he lives in Brooklyn too. How weird is when the Internet brings you back to your neighbourhood. I may ask him if he wants to be in my documentary.

Acabo de descubrir que el pintor de las nubes y del chocolate es brasileño y vive en mi barrio. Para los que tengais curiosidad desde alli, estará exponiendo en Santiago de Compostela a partir del 12 de diciembre en la CGAC..
