Bio/Filmo
Melissa Dullius (Porto Alegre, 1981) and Gustavo Jahn (Florianópolis, 1980) form Distruktur.
Distruktur’s work moves across the borders between art and cinema, experimental and narrative, photography and moving image. Displacement and transposition happen as strategies to produce transformations, giving form to unstable narratives. Combining fiction and personal archive, symbols from different times and places are found and fantastically rearranged. They started making films in 1999, first on Super 8 and later on 16 mm. After co-founding the artist-run film lab LaborBerlin, they started incorporating experimental practices in their creative process. Besides directing and producing they are also active as actors, musicians and lab technicians. Distruktur’s work takes shape as films, installations, film performances, photography, text and graphic.
