Brasil Meia Meia, 1966
A collage of the events in Brazil in 1966 drawn from newspaper text and imagery. This was released both as an individual publication as well as being a component of Ponto 1. No edition size given. Thought to be c.200 copies within Ponto 1 and c.100 copies printed as individual booklets. Published by the artist, 1967. Dias-Pino claimed that Noigandres Poesia Concreta was not political enough and also that a concrete poem did not have to involve words. This seminal publication involves purely visual poema processo works alongside strong collage elements reminiscent of the authoritarian military dictatorship that begun in 1964. It comes together with Dias-Pino’s folded and laid-in, signed manifesto titled ‘Limit Situation: Distinctions and Consequences’.
The process poem is both free from structure (word) and from author (psychological).
