"Paraiso" is a collection of works by French photographer Antoine Dagata. Known for filming his own personal and radical experiences, Dagata has been a full member of Magnum Photos since 2008. This book is a collection of a series of photographs that Dagata took in South America and other places in 2012, which are full of sensuality and chaos. By depicting his own existence naked, using taboo areas such as sex, desire, and addiction as subjects, he develops expressions that strongly shake the viewer both visually and mentally. The texture unique to film, such as rough grain and deep shadows in the dark areas, emphasizes the vivid atmosphere of the scene and the traces of contact with the subject. This book is filled with the humidity and nighttime breath of South America, and Dagata's artistry, who interacts with the world as a participant rather than an observer, is strongly expressed, making it a powerful work that questions the limits and possibilities of contemporary photography.
