6 May to 3 August 2012 V22 F Block

Breno Pineschi works on projects from graphic design to the set design of installations for multinational companies. In a unique and critically acclaimed performance in 2010, he created a live projection over a seven-screen structure that formed a kind of digital/theatrical stage around Eumir Deodato and his band. He has made works alongside his partner Rafael Cazes such as the music video for L.O.V.E Banana by Joao Brasil featuring LoveFoXXX (Cansei de Ser Sexy). Pineshchi created motion graphics for Roda Rio 2016, at Forte de Copacabana; the event that launched Rio's candidacy as the 2016 Olympics host city.

Pineschi fills the Olympic capital with colourful paper banana bunches in installations and surreal flash mobs that convey the joy of Brazilian culture. When placed on metal structures like buses, pay phones and bridges, their lightweight paper structure and powerful mini-magnets cause them to group up in clusters. A tropical sculpture that springs up in unlikely places, inviting the viewer to laugh, think and reflect on and admire the Brazilian bananas.
