Laerte-se
Directed by Eliane Brum, Lygia Barbosa da Silva
Produced by True Lab
An intimate, philosophically ambitious documentary that uses Laerte's artistic practice and gender exploration to interrogate identity, binaries, and the relationship between fiction and lived reality.
In this film, Laerte conjugates the body in the feminine, and scrutinizes concepts and prejudices. Not in search of an identity, but in search of un-identities. Laerte creates and sends creatures to face reality in the fictional world of comic strips as a vanguard of the self. And, on the streets, the one who becomes the fiction of a real character. Laerte, of all the bodies, and of none, complicates all binaries. In following Laerte, this documentary chooses to clothe the nudity beyond the skin we inhabit.
