DYNAMISMS OF A TYPICAL SUNDAY CERRATENSE

This series offers an intriguing representation of the atmosphere that surrounds a common Sunday in a bucolic baroque colonial village of Cerrado Rupestre Brasileiro - the Brazilian savannah. The astonishing systematic appositions of geometrically repeated images, lines and contours reveal the dynamic nature of movements, both of the observer and of the observed scenes. The alternation of the parameters of time and space, and the lines of perspectives constructed by the alignment of stones that pave the roads, center the spectator on the stage, inviting him to participate in the pictorial plasticity resulting from the process of multiple expositions, rhythms and velocities, illustrated in each frame. In this way, sensations of energy flow and continuous displacements are experienced. In the compositions of the images, the fusion of landscapes with historical and everyday elements is captured. The solidity of the stones that line the streets in "parallelepipeds", extracted from mines of the periphery, intercalate the perimeter of access to the figurative ones; the display of the colorful stalls of the marketers in disorderly and random dispositions of varied merchandise. The contemplation of the observer discerns the colonial architecture of the Baroque-Brazilian parked in time, and also perceives the chaotic and agitated traffic. The vibrant snapshots lead to a simple narrative until the closure of the Sunday frenzy, caused by the Cerratenses monsoons, which precipitate the withdrawal of merchants and pedestrians, so that the city can settle in the last hours of yet another ordinary weekend.
