Working together for over a decade, Bárbara Wagner and Benjamin de Burca produce videos and video installations in dialog with other artists and collectives. The duo has developed a research method according to documentary observation and investigation, constructing the direction, screenwriting, costumes, and soundtracks in collaboration with the protagonists of each project. This horizontal way of working is crucial for transmitting the frequently urgent, socially and historically determined content of their audiovisual investigation. In their approaches to modes of artistic making, social types and political friction are formative elements of discourse.
