Biography
Melissa Dullius, born in 1981 in Porto Alegre, and Gustavo Jahn, born in 1980 in Florianópolis, have formed the artist duo "Distruktur" since 2006, when they moved together from South Brazil to Berlin. Distruktur's body of work takes form as films, photographs, film performances, music, text, and graphics. It crosses the borders between art and film, experimental and narrative, photography and moving image. Characteristic of their work is the use of 16mm film, mostly processed using handmade techniques. They are founding members of the analog film association LaborBerlin e.V., a nonprofit, independent film collective. "Muito Romantico" is their first feature film, and their second Forum Expanded participation after "Triangulum" in 2008.
