Associação Cultural Videobrasil

Over the years, the trophies designed for the Southern Panoramas show have also undergone changes. From items merely destined to be given to the prize winners, they turned into veritable art objects. At the Sesc Warehouse, where the Festival’s historical section is based, the audience will be able to see the trophies created by artists of the likes of Kiko Farkas, Guto Lacaz, Kimi Nii, Tunga, Carmela Gross, Luiz Zerbini, Raquel Garbelotti, Rosângela Rennó, among others, including the trophy designed by the artist Erika Verzutti for this 18^th edition. Erika has been recently shortlisted for the Carnegie International exhibition, featuring artists from 19 different countries at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, USA.

Made from bronze and color wax, the 18^th Festival trophy is a pomegranate-shaped sculpture by the São Paulo-based artist Erika Verzutti. "The fruit was a natural choice, as I was looking through my known repertoire for a shape that also had a celebratory aspect to it," she says. "It is a precious shape, highly expressive, a bit physiognomic, and it is also associated with luck."
