Description

I arrived at this place in daylight, and everything was chaos. People and cars sharing the same space, an effervescent crowd on the street, and hundreds of vehicles passing by in so many different directions without a single accident, everything moving as if they were into a mad dance with each other. Night fell, and I returned to this place. That chaos became even more extraordinary, the lights of cars crossing the square and people walking among the cars in the dark. Something about that chaos attracted me, and I wanted to put this in a single photograph. I climbed on a monument in the center of the square, hundreds of people were sitting there, and I found a small space between them. Set up my camera there and started to photograph. All that movement disappeared in a single long exposure frame of thirty seconds. So I stayed at this place photographing for two hours. After all this time, that chaos turned into a dance of light. The sound of horns turned silent, and two hours were frozen into a frame, and the stars left their trail in the sky while we slowly rotated with the Earth! Time, and the passage of time, or not, is essential in my work. It was on that night that I started photographing the countryside of Brazil.
