Wattis Institute presents collaborative film and multimedia show 'The Tramp'

The Wattis Institute for Contemporary Arts in San Francisco is launching 'The Tramp,' a joint exhibition by the artists Caguiat Delacruz, comprised of Justin Caguiat and Rafael Delacruz. This exhibition showcases a newly created film, along with paintings, prints, and installations. The film at its core revolves around two characters, Wesley and his dog Chips, alongside Hiroko, drawing from Charlie Chaplin's 1915 film 'The Tramp,' filmed in Fremont, located 35 miles south of San Francisco. Caguiat Delacruz resonate with Chaplin's character—a playful drifter who cleverly navigates authority while adapting to a changing world. Their collaborative approach embodies this whimsical essence, enabling them to explore and challenge various artistic forms.
