Color, Culture, BodyAbstract
From the idea that color has a corporal and tactile character, affirming itself as a force, not a code; presence, and not a sign (TAUSSIG, 2009), we propose to analyze the short film Céu sobre água (Sky over water) (1978), by José Agrippino de Paula, considering it as an essay about light and color, focusing on the dimension of sacred. Through the valorization of the forms which emerge from the colors and their moving vocation, also found in dance and in cinema, the film integrates art and life, having as axis the pregnant body and the movements of the dancer and choreographer Maria Esther Stockler.
