Description: Paraíso, by photographer and visual artist from Pernambuco Gilvan Barreto, is a book that addresses the relationship between photography and text when investigating images that hint at how a paradisiacal landscape may be able to camouflage plots of injustice - exposing, in a visual and symbolic way, open wounds in the Brazilian territories. Throughout the pages, in a narrative that the artist compares to a feature film, images and texts dialogue with each other, a long interview that explains intentions and work processes and a critical essay by the organizer. Gilvan Barreto wants to us to see and show what was left out - a paradise that is a shield and a façade: "Centuries ago the memory of this land was forged by the systematic use of violence. Intimidation cycles are constant and have the same all-time target: the environment and the most vulnerable communities.".
