Eles o estado, estes os infiltrados e nós 2013

Abstract

The end of 2012 was as strange as 2010, when cars were burned in the neighborhood of Laranjeiras and Flamengo, with one of the most violent actions televised 24 hours in a row, with a public demonstration of power by the Military Police of Rio de Janeiro. So, along with all this tension in politics and in my life, I started photographing the June 2013 journeys, body and soul, seeking to know and be on the different political fronts that the journeys contained. On Google Maps, the city was just a magical territory of green mountains between blue skies and seas, available to be dismantled and rebuilt without the participation of the population that lives here. The erasure of these territories was not an unintentional project. A mark of colonization, historical erasure in Rio de Janeiro is part of an entire recurring sociocultural context.
