"Genocídio do Yanomami" is a collection of works by Swiss-born, Brazil-based photographer Claudia Andújar (1931–). Since the late 1960s, Andújar has been deeply involved with the Yanomami, an indigenous people of the Amazon, documenting their lives and spiritual culture while simultaneously raising international awareness of the threats to their land and life caused by the encroachment and development of outside societies. In 1978, she published the acclaimed "Amazônia" in collaboration with photographer George Love, presenting the Amazon's nature and the world of the Yanomami in magnificent visuals. This book is primarily composed of photographs of the Yanomami taken between 1971 and 1989, and compiles works originating from an installation presented at the São Paulo Museum of Art (MASP) in 1989. Through strong contrasts, manipulation of light, and layered images, she visualizes the tensions of indigenous societies shaken by development such as gold mining, demonstrating that photography can be both a testimony and a warning. This is an important collection of works that symbolizes the activities and thoughts of Andújar, who has cultivated a relationship with the Yanomami for over half a century. Limited to 750 copies.
