1. Visionaries | 2002

For this work I brought characters from family stories and legends into the ordinary world of viewers by recollecting and reproducing black and white slides of old photographs from a variety of sources: from the earliest photography studios of Brazilian portrait artists all the way through to amateur images from the start of the twentieth century.

• series: three installations with 225 viewers each + 1 AP
• plastic viewers and B/W slides
• variable dimensions
• EXHIBITIONS: “Vuelvo al Sur,” L’Éte Photographique, Centre de Photographie de Lectoure, France / “Première vue,” Passage de Retz, Paris, France / “Trajetórias 4,” Fundação Joaquim Nabuco, Recife, Brazil
