Gui Marcondes is a visual artist from Brazil, living between New York and São Paulo.
Marcondes studied Architecture and Urban Planning before working as a graphic designer and illustrator until eventually turning to filmmaking. He has been working as a Creative Director for animation for two decades. His most well-known short film, "Tyger," won over thirty international awards. Marcondes was a visiting artist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he led a workshop on Narrative Spaces in Film and Games. Since then, he has been a permanent MIT Creative Arts Competition jury member.
From 2016 to 2022, Marcondes self-published “Gira,” an annual series of books, now in the permanent collection of the library of Instituto Moreira Salles. His ongoing multidisciplinary project, "The Marble and The Myrtle,” about pre-colonial South American history, was invited to the Magnum Photos Development Workshop with Moises Saman and Paul Moakley. His latest photobook, "I know I exist because you imagine me," was published in 2023 by Nearest Truth Editions. A solo exhibition based on the work of the book opened in 2024 at the Museu da Imagem e do Som (MIS) in São Paulo.
