“Catiti-Catiti. Film” is an artwork created by the artist Lygia Pape in the year 1978. This piece is part of the Conceptual Art movement and falls under the genre of photography.
The artwork presents a striking black-and-white photograph capturing a man wearing a black mask with eyeholes and a mouth slit. His identity obscured, he holds a brick in his right hand as though prepared to throw it, suggesting a potent gesture of defiance or protest. The dark clothing of the figure contrasts sharply against the lighter background, highlighting the masked subject as the central focus. The photograph’s setting, with its rough and urban backdrop, adds to the overall sense of tension and confrontation conveyed by the composition.
