The photos below are part of an essay called Flagged, where I took inspiration from Brazilian culture - Carnival monsters, football supporters' and street protesters' gadgets - to portray, sadly, a still very modern excess, that of the widespread radicalism of our contemporary political life.
The series aims to reenact a range of extreme, eerie emotions - from fear to anger, from boisterousness to desperation - all displayed in the increasingly divisive Brazilian political scene.
Digital communication, the pervasiveness of fake news, the rise of nationalism and fair right politics have all created an inflammatory ground for the Us versus Them politics. This series of photos tries to flag the emotional costs of our current reality-bending political landscape.
I'm available for commissions and collaborations. Just drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you!
