Who is Gustavo Charif?

Gustavo Charif is an Argentine writer, visual artist and film director. He is a friend of dramaturg Fernando Arrabal. His works are a sort of surrealism mixed with the secular poetry of actual times.

In 1997 the Buenos Aires Museum of Modern Art organized a retrospective of his experimental short films.

In 2002 Arrabal and Milan Kundera planned their first book together and invited Charif to make the images. In the same year, Daniel Maman Fine Arts edited the "Incarnate Manifesto" for the big solo exhibition in the gallery.

He has developed actions as the canonization of Luce Moreau Arrabal at the front door of the Notre-Dame of Paris, giving her the title of Saint Lis with the presence of the Collège de ‘Pataphysyque.

The Centro Cultural Borges organized the individual exhibition "Alexandria" in 2004.

In 2005 he founded the Infinilogy movement with Victorio Lenz, Andres Onna and Agares Graber.

His first feature length film, The Reason, was released in 2010. "The Reason" includes, in the end credits, an unreleased song by Moby.
