Description: Madalena Schwartz (Budapeste,1921-São Paulo,1993) was a relevant Brazilian photographer of Hungarian descent. Protagonist in the context of São Paulo photography, she stands out particularly for the way she worked on the portrait in her work. Active in the Foto Cine Clube Bandeirante, resident of the building Copan, at the epicenter of the cultural life of São Paulo of the 1970s, Schwartz dedicated her first breathless essay to the characters she met on The Night of São Paulo: transformist artists, androgynous and transvestites, in an arc in which they appear from essential names of the time, such as Ney Matogrosso and the Dzi Croquettes, until many figures today almost forgotten. Marking the centenary of her birth, IMS Paulista presents the exhibition "As Metamorfoses - Travestis e transformistas na São Paulo dos anos 70",(The Metamorphoses - Transvestites and transformists in São Paulo of the 70s) curated by Gonzalo Aguilar and Samuel Titan Jr. The exhibition revisits this part of Schwartz's work, both to rescue the characters portrayed by her and to investigate the photographer's profile. Imitating with Schwartz's work, the exhibition also expands its context, presenting striking images of the photographic representation of transformist and transvestite cultures in several Countries of South America. The exhibition exhibits also works by Paz Errázuriz, Estúdio Luisita, Arquivo da Memória Trans Argentina, Arquivo Quiwa, Sergio Zevallos, Adolfo Patiño, Armando Cristeto, Hélio Oiticica, Leandro Katz and Vasco Szinetar, among others.
