A course by Eduardo Salzane
Graduated in social communication from Unesp, artist Eduardo Salzane has already worked with authorial photography, puppet theater and some circus modalities before specializing in the universe of automatons — sculptures that move from a crank.
He has given workshops at different institutions throughout Brazil and his works have been exhibited in several galleries in the interior of São Paulo and at the Ecomuseum of Itaipu, in Foz do Iguaçu. Currently, he develops his work with reused wood and creates a universe of poetry in motion in each of his pieces.
