The "Heliotapes"-audiotapes onto which the artist recorded ideas and "manifestations" from Rio de Janeiro, New York, and London before dispersing them to friends-make up the soundtrack of the documentary, along with terrific musical choices. With the addition of a treasure trove of images, this dynamic construction immerses the viewer in the universe of Hélio Oiticica, who guides us through the invention of his Bólides, Penetráveis, Núcleos, Parangolés, etc. Written by MoMA See less
