Nhonhô by Giselle Beigulman and Ilê Sartuzi is an experimental documentary, which reinterprets the history of São Paulo by exploring the architecture of Nhonhô Magalhães’s mansion in the Higienópolis neighborhood. In the video, the camera moves through different environments in the empty house – recreated and reconfigured by means of photogrammetry – while a narrator draws connections between the character of Nhonhô, the history of the neighborhood, and present-day São Paulo. The pictures of the mansion’s interior underwent “retrospective” colorization using AI, blurring the line between past and present. Curiously, the use of European image databases as colorization sources imparted tonalities to the historical photographs which seem to mirror the view that certain elites had (and still have) of themselves and of the country.
