[my day by edward hopper]

My Day by Edward Hopper (1882-1967) (USA; painter, graphic artist and illustrator).
……………………………………………

All that was missing was a restaurant on the corner, with a few customers and a waiter, to better characterize the reality marked by Hopper’s loneliness as in his beautiful and world-famous painting Nighthawks (1942; 84.1×152.4cm).

{reconstructing Nineteen Eighty-Four}

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.

[book launch and photography exposition]

Launch of my latest photography book called ASSOMBRAÇÕES (HAUNTINGS) at the FOTO EM PAUTA Festival in Tiradentes, Minas Gerais, Brazil from March 6-10, 2024.

At this same festival, five of my photos of the Brazilian Amazon from my project called MY PITORRESCA AMAZON will also be projected, which is the theme of my next photography exhibition to be held at the Arts and Convention Center of the Federal University of Ouro Preto, Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brazil in the period March 17-20, 2024.

Everyone is invited to these events!

{Brazilian Cowboy}

from my book RURAIS (rural workers) (Ed. Origem. São Paulo Brazil 2020)

(PHOTO: cowboy in the rural area of Desemboque, MG – Brazil. 2019)

But, this photo (which really moves me every time I look at it again) could be in a book that was and continues to be a dream of mine that would be called BRAZILIAN COWBOYS. Who knows, maybe one day it will be published…

IN TIME: the photographer of French origin, Anouk Krantz (@anoukmassonkrantz – on Instagram), but living in the USA, recently published a fabulous book (my dream book) called: AMERICAN COWBOYS.
