SAUDADE MOON - Brazil Feel

I traveled for five years from the hypnotic Amazon, to the farms in the early 1800's in the state of Minas Jerais, visiting the islands off the north coast to the desert in the state of Maranhao. I photographed the lifestyle of the beaches, but also, Christmas in the slums of the big cities on the coast and inland. I tried to return the historical aspect expressed by the art and architecture of Brasilia, and I told the ritual ceremonies of Condomblè, then I traveled to the colonial villages and I photographed the poorest countries, those forgotten by this hysterical ongoing economic process. I have collected aerial images and tried to return the musicality of this vast natural land and its deep culture, changing my narrative gait, my photographic vocality and I did listening to my emotional distance from this amazing country, definitive. "Saudade Moon" is my attempts to change look on the nation's leading over the coming years, I watched my "invisible" Brazil, I told the "unsaid", over the pacification of the favelas, over the feverish preparation for the upcoming sporting events, which in part, have triggered this reaction economic.
