Shot in Cordisburgo (in the state of Minas Gerais), the hometown of Brazilian author Guimarães Rosa, Cordis speaks of the relationship between man, nature, and death within the context of the Brazilian cultural reality. From an intense experience of place, steeped in the invisible presence of the author’s prose, the artist derives a contemplative gaze that straddles life and death, darkness and color, sweetness and cruelty. Using light and environmental tones, the sharp photography establishes relations with the pictorial field, revealing contrasts, saturations, and textures.
