Items related to Brasil
Brasil is a photographic exploration of culture, landscape and light by the photographer Kristin Capp. Shooting in black-and-white film with a Rolleiflex camera, Capp turns her lens on urban Brazilian landscapes with an encompassing curiosity that resists classification. The eight years of work presented here reveal a highly personal, fluid, syncopated and complex Brazil. Avoiding heroic or ideological tropes, Capp captures the complexity of the sprawling and diverse country with images that range from portraits to candid urban scenes to pure abstraction. In Rio de Janeiro, Capp is drawn to the relationship between natural shapes of the landscape and the citys constructed forms; in Bahia, we are immersed in the culture that represents the largest African diaspora in the world; and in Sao Paulo, she simultaneously captures the dreams, contradictions and values of its people as well as its public spaces and physical structures. Brazilian landscapes, architecture, and ways of life are present in the photos, but in an informal intimacy that undresses these themes. Brasil features an essay by noted Brazilian art critic Paulo Venancio Filho and a collaborative poem by Sergio Alcides.
