Homage to George Segal

Directed by Walter Silveira and Lenora de Barros

With Lenora de Barros

Homenagem a George Segal [Tribute to George Segal] began as a photoperformance conducted in 1975 and became, ten years later, in Lenora’s first videoperformance, inspired by the lonely, pathetic figures by the American sculptor. Facing the camera, the artist brushes her teeth vigorously by the sound of the Beatles’ She Loves You. The foam gradually overflows, completely covering her face and head, giving her an aspect similar to Segal’s eerie characters.
