A câmera persegue um par de pernas cujos passos, ora são arrastados, ora levitam como que magicamente. Parece um desafio da gravidade, e talvez o seja. Na verdade, trata-se das pernas de um catador de material reciclável que puxa um carro pesado, fora de cena, e este exerce uma força de alavanca sobre o homem. O vídeo deve ser exposto necessariamente em uma tv de tubo (adquirida de segunda mão) apoiada diretamente sobre o chão. Uma cópia de O Leviano pertence ao acervo do Museu de Arte da Pampulha (MG).


The camera follows a pair of legs whose steps often drag and other times levitate as if by magic. It seems like a challenge - defying gravity, and maybe it is. In fact, these are the legs of a recyclable material collector pulling a heavy car, out of frame, and this exerts a leverage force on him. The video must necessarily be shown on a tube TV (acquired second-hand) resting directly on the floor. A copy of O Leviano (The Flimsy One) belongs to the collection of the Museu de Arte da Pampulha (MG).
