[red poppy of palestine]

color photography, photomontage

Think of the children of Palestine, living orphans
Born orphans, with no future and nothing
Others massacred by bloodthirsty drones and missiles,
Murdered without mercy
From hunger, thirst and bullets
Think of your decapitated limbs
Their broken hearts
Wounds like red poppies
Dried, faded in a dry vase, on a table in a corner of the house
Broken
On some corner that no longer exists
Broken

Don’t forget the red poppy
From the red poppy of Palestine
The same color as spilled blood
Never forget the dried, faded red poppy
Stained with blood
Abandoned
No petals, no red
With nothing

{reconstructing Nineteen Eighty-Four}

color photography, photomontage

Reconstructing Michael Radford’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four” (1984) from George Orwell’s glorious book of the same name (1948).

The photomontages are of scenes from the film that I have just re-watched for the ‘n’th time and I photographed the TV screen that overlaps photos of me of Usina São Carlos (sugar and alcohol plant) (Jaboticabal SP Brazil) during the period when it was being demolished already 2-3 years ago.

For the next few days: my newest photography book called “Assombrações” (“Hauntings”) (bilingual: Portuguese-English) independently produced and curated by Roberto Cecato from FotoWeb Academy-São Paulo, SP – Brazil, will be available for sale ( contact me in private) and its launch will be announced on social media.

This is another one of the 52 frames highlighted in this very illustrated publication that I share today.

[new photography book on the way]

Friends: Here’s the dummy of my book ‘hauntings’ with 51 photographs, 88 pages (mostly in B&W) which will have its final printing perhaps this October and its launch and sales afterwards.
The project was curated by Roberto Cecato (FotoWeb Academy, São Paulo, SP) to whom I am very grateful for the true partnership. The book is brilliantly prefaced by this curator.

Happy to be in this final stage of another project materialized in a book.
