VIDEO WINDOW, in cooperation with the Kunsthalle Lucerne, will be joined by the well-known Brazilian-Swiss artist duo Dias & Riedweg from Rio de Janeiro to celebrate the premieres of their new videos addressing the subject of psychiatry, Casulo (Cocoon) and Palco (stage), at the stattkino Lucerne: The duo realised both works together with A Voz dos Usuários, a supervised group of patients from the Psychiatric Clinic of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

The videos were completed in 2019, just before the outbreak of the pandemic and have not been shown until now. The programme opens with two older works, Funk Staden (2007) and O Espelho e a Tarde (The Mirror and the Afternoon, 2011), which offer surprising perspectives on the marginalized world of favelas and their musical subculture. Mauricio Dias and Walter Riedweg will be present at the premiere celebration!
