Title: Zigzag
Description: "This space of a few meters, between the rocks, the Arpoador -and more specifically the "Praia do Diablo"- became for Marcos Bonisson a natural photographic studio, a place of visual writing, a living theater in which, year after year, he concentrates his thinking." (HKB Translation) --Page [1]. Zig-Zag is how artist and photographer Marcos Bonisson moves, coming and going, discovering and creating, aiming and diving at Arpoador beach in Rio de Janeiro. A work that unfolds for more than 20 years on the same stage of a theater of natural life, between bodies, sea, sand, stones and invention. The book "ZigZag" brings together images from different series, among them The ballad of the Solar Body, Beach Drawings, Touch Stones, Breath, Underwater and Zig-zag, presenting an important overview of the work that the artist from Rio de Janeiro has been developing since the 1980's. A co-edition with the Maison Européenne de la Photographie, where Bonisson presented an individual exhibition in 2015. The bilingual edition features a lengthy interview by critic and curator Paulo Herkenhoff, recounting the photographer's trajectory, and a text by French photographer Claude Nori.
