CGiii Comment

In January 1990, at the age of 33, the artist Jose Leonilson starts recording an intimate journal with a tape recorder. His views on events that shook both Brazil, such as the resignation of former President Collor, and overseas, such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, permeate his confessions. He also talks about his impressions of the various movies he watched.

The records of this sensitive artist in tune with modern life did not intend, at first, anything more than to register the harmony that existed between his life and his peculiar, intimate work. However, J.L. suffers from the unexpected blow of the discovery that he himself is HIV positive. The uncertainty and urgency in his life begin to permeate his reports.
