This is a photo book by Miguel Rio Branco, one of Brazil's leading photographers. In Japan, Branco was also the subject of a photo exhibition "Quiet Gazes Resonating" with photographer Daido Moriyama in 2008 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Japanese immigration to Brazil. During his childhood, he moved around the world due to his father's work, and moved from Switzerland, a country where everything was protected and well-organized, to Brazil, an undeveloped and dramatic country, where Branco's style was established. Human instincts and vitality seen in sometimes chaotic, crazy, miserable and ugly things. Branco's works, which find the essence and beauty of humanity in such contradictions and chaos, are expressed with a unique perspective on the subject and vivid colors unique to South America, and have a shocking and sensual atmosphere that is not found in Western photographers. This book contains many of his representative works, such as "The Boxer" and "Cuba," selected from his nearly 30-year career. Hardcover.
