"Silent Book" is a photo collection by Brazilian photographer Miguel Rio Branco. In Japan, Branco was also the subject of a photo exhibition "Resonating Quiet Gaze" with photographer Daido Moriyama in 2008 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Japanese immigration to Brazil. During his childhood, he spent his time moving abroad due to his father's work, and moved from Switzerland, a country where everything was protected and well-organized, to Brazil, an unexplored 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 is a long-awaited reprint of the photo collection published in 1997. A mysterious journey between life and death, focusing on things that change with the passage of time. This book will leave its mark in the history of Latin American photography, where Branco's individuality as mentioned above is fully demonstrated. Limited to 2,000 copies.
