Contemporary Brazilian Photography

I checked out
Novas Travessias; Contemporary Brazilian Photography, by Maria Luiza Melo Carvalho.
ISBN#1-85984-963-6

A collection of Contemporary Brazilian Photographers which began as an "open-ended research venture, with the intention of encouraging a dialogue." It is a beautiful collection of works which are each unique yet they all cohesively unite and portray an inside look into contemporary culture of Brazil through the eyes of her Photographers. Published in London:1996.


Patricia Azevedo




"Working in the darkroom, exposing sections from many different negatives (often from historical as well as her own photographs), Azevedo builds up her images over a period of many hours, sometimes days, only seeing what she has produced when the photographic paper is finally immersed in developer. This technique (imagine drawing in complete darkness) generates dreamlike images about history, memory, imagination and intuition.(http://www.juliangermain.com/projects/patricia-azevedo.php)"
