VIDEO WINDOW @ FUSO 2026 – Video Art Festival, 18th Edition, Lisbon
Wed 26 August 2026, 21:30, Museu da Marioneta
Destiny Brazil – Between Reality and the Imaginary. Reflections on Power, Identity and Spiritualism
Films by: Aline Motta, Camila Freitas & Janaina Wagner (BR)

After FUSO 2024, the video art platform VIDEO WINDOW presents at the festival in Lisbon another programme dedicated to Brazilian video art, ambiguously entitled Destiny Brazil, with one film each by Aline Motta, Camila Freitas and Janaina Wagner. The programme provides through the three works a fragmentary insight into life realities in Brazil, from Rio de Janeiro deep into the Amazon which are related to the country's colonial past. At the same time, it offers a comparison of different positions of mid-career female artists, distinguished by their unique voices and recognised both nationally and internationally.

Projection, daily: 17:00–22:00
Finissage: Saturday, 21 March 2026, 18:00

VIDEO WINDOW is making its first appearance at Art Space Juraplatz in Biel/Bienne and presents one work by video artist Bettina Grossenbacher (Basel) in the outside and one in the inside area, both with metaphorical references to the location. The distinctive building was once a tram and bus stop, a bustling meeting place with a kiosk, telephone booth and urinal. It is a testament to 1930s modernist architecture in Biel/Bienne and now a listed building.

The two visually striking and atmospheric videos have a mysterious feel, sparking associations and firing our imagination. They tell stories, pose essential questions and linger in the mind thanks to their poetic nature. The artist invites us to continue the works in our imagination and create our own films in our minds.

Thursday, 06.11.2025, 18:00, Atelier Concorde, Lisbon. «NO FLASH. Homage to Ricardo Rangel» (1924–2009). A documentary film portrait on the doyen of Mozambican photography by Bruno Z'Graggen and Angelo Sansone, Switzerland 2012


(RR, film still)

Ricardo Rangel was one of the most important photographers in sub-Saharan Africa at the time. At almost the end of 2025, the year of celebrations marking 50 years of independence for Portugal's former colonies in Africa, the film event honors and reflects Ricardo Rangel's life work which started under the Portuguese domination to be continued after independence was achieved in 1975 within Mozambique's socialist state building. How do we look and consider on Rangel's legacy today and his impact on photography in Mozambique? What is its importance?

The screening follows a conversation with: Bruno Z'Graggen, Alexandre Pomar, art critic and journalist (Lisbon), and Sérgio Santimano, photographer (Mozambique). Both were interviewed in the film.

A cooperation between Atelier Concorde, the collective art- and workspace in Lisbon and Bruno Z'Graggen, freelance curator based in Zurich, who is currently a guest at Atelier Concorde.

Video Art in Dialogue

VIDEO WINDOW presents, in cooperation with the legendary studio community VIA, nine well-known artistic positions from Basel and Zurich. During three evening events entitled Video Art in Dialogue, each position shows a recent work for discussion.

The aim of the events is to comparatively debate artistic interests, strategies and forms of expression exemplified by the videos and a workshop-like dialogue between the artists, the curator and the public and to jointly discover the multifaceted nature of video art.

Furthermore, a special issue of the _957 Independent Art Magazine, which has been published by the Lucerne artist Stephan Wittmer since 2012, appears as a publication and programme booklet for the series.

Each evening concludes with the opportunity to continue the discussion and to network over a plate of pasta at the venue.

The essay-like work tells of the neo-colonial exploitation in the Amazon region with political impetus and skilfully interweaves three spheres into a dense and powerful composition: the endangered indigenous culture, the illegal wood industry and the penetrating evangelical missionary work.

The film is preceded by two older videos by the duo: Funk Staden (2007) and The Mirror and the Dusk (2011), which show locations in Rio de Janeiro's favelas, address difficult living environments and clichés.

Ricardo Rangel (15.02.1924–11.06.2009)

Ricardo Rangel was one of the most important photographers in sub-Saharan Africa at the time. The exhibition «Ricardo Rangel: Surrendered to passions» at the gallery of Kulungwana curated by Jorge Dias (Dir. of the Centro Cultural Brasil-Moçambique / Instituto Guimarães Rosa, Maputo) pays tribute to the centenary of the birth of Ricardo Rangel (1924–2009). It provides a unique opportunity to reflect on Rangel's significant contribution to photography and photojournalism in Mozambique. Each image in the exhibition bears witness to the many passions that drove Ricardo Rangel: his passion for freedom, justice, love and humanity.

Bruno Z'Graggen curated in cooperation with the photographer Grant Lee Neuenburg (Maputo) the exhibition «Iluminando Vidas. Fotografia Moçambicana 1950–2001. Ricardo Rangel & the Next Generation» (incl. catalogue), which was shown 2002 at Photoforum PasquArt in Bienne (Switzerland) followed by a presentation 2003 in Maputo at the Galeria de Associação Moçambicana de Fotografia (AMF), both in presence of Ricardo Rangel, and many other venues in Europe and Africa.

The curator Bruno Z'Graggen realized together with the film-maker and producer Angelo Sansone (Zurich) a documentary and homage on Ricardo Rangel entitled «NO FLASH. Homage to Ricardo Rangel». The film had its world premiere on 22 March 2012 in Maputo at the Centro Cultural Franco-Mozambicano (CCFM). «NO FLASH» is shown during the exhibition at Galeria of Kulungwana. Screening venues, 2012–2014
