& a Fade to Grey

A testimony and a solitary,...

The Theory of Everything
_The Theory of Everything_ navigates its way between people and landscapes, between discourse and territory. Evocative landscapes whose silent presence speaks volumes.

The Other Rio
The Maracanã Stadium is aglow with lights. It is 2016, and all cameras are focused on the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. A few blocks away, it is a completely different world. Sitting on a rooftop, children watch the fireworks from afar. We are in a dilapidated federal building, under the thumb of drug traffickers. Around a hundred destitute families live here, hidden ...
