Lost Light in strange world
Tradution: Gabriela Darin
I believe that all images can be changed into art and disclose a truth.
The search of the moment that transfigures the reality in art is the untiring search of my lenses.
Of light in shade, I was delineating the hasty life, the fatigue, the small joys and the crisis of day-by-day through the innumerable gestures that I catch and that as much discloses. Inserted in my daily routine I place right in front of me, without former judgments with the “reality” that would not have to be banished of our rationality. The magic of the duality, the opposites, the contradictions, the paradoxes. And it is through this magic, of which everything is created and transformed that I look for to interact with the Universe that surrounds me. I make of my dialogue the visual images that I produce, and through them I express myself better. It does not have certainty in my poetry of the light, but neither hopelessness.
The power of my images comes of a strange vitality that seems to stimulate the inside of an individual in search of yourself and your place in the world. Therefore the density, the lost unreliability of the look, worlds interact almost that mechanically. I feel deep emotions contained in the lost looks in search of human heat. The magic of these images is exactly in the capacity to disclose through my visual metaphors the fragility of the being in all its potentiality. For many, mystic that it is transparent in everything around us, for others, well-known as phenomena. The unconscious one was not lost here and the conscientious one was added in search of a rigid and efficient methodology. I studied the daylights and the nightlights, their consequences, the seats, and the schedule where the photos had been made on the metropolitans’ buses of the city of São Paulo. Through this enterprise I was able to extract deep movements and fantastic stories of hundreds of characters in infinity trips on Praca Ramos bus route, which travels between downtown Sao Paulo and the east of the city of São Paulo, Brazil.Fictitious characters of this metropolis full of dreams and many nightmares.
