Gabriel Mascaro is a visual artist and filmmaker from Recife, Brazil. Mascaro's work is characterized by a critical interpretation of the contemporaneity through observing or inventing everyday practices that involve performance, games of inversion, displacement and appropriation. He investigates the relationship between micro-politics and everyday life through film, installation and photography. His films and video installations have been screened at important festivals and artistic events/exhibitions including Venice, IDFA, Locarno, Toronto, Rotterdam, MoMAn-nNY, Oberhausen, Clermont Ferrand, the Guggenheim, MACBAn- Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, Panorama da Arte Brasileira at MAM - SP and the São Paulo Art Biennale. Mascaro participated in the Videobrasil Artistic Residency at the Videoformes in France and the Wexner Center for Arts in the USA. His films have won over 50 awards. In April 2016 he had a retrospective of his work at the Lincoln Center in New York.
