Abstract: The book, edited by Maureen Bisilliat reconstructs her professional trajectory of over 50 years of deep creative activity through 12 photo essays, arranged in delicate and subjective way. The images are combined with varied texts, resulting in an artistic partnership between Bisilliat and Joao Cabral de Melo Neto, Guimares Rosa, Jorge Amado, and Euclides da Cunha, among others. This work is more than a book of photography. It is also a biography of Bisilliat -whose life was reconstructed by writer and journalist Marta Goes - an anthology of visual landscapes, people and objects that marked her throughout life, a meeting of the best reviews ever written about her work, and an annotated bibliography by the author, making this edition an invaluable source of reference on her publications, exhibitions, videos and films.
