"The space between"

No início do século 20 vários imigrantes europeus chegavam ao Brasil.
Os poloneses vinham para o sul do Brasil, assim como alemães, ucranianos
e Italianos.

In the begginiing of the 20 century many european inmigrants arrived in south Brazil.
The Polish came down south Brazil as well as germans, ucranians and italians.

Estas fotos foram tomadas em um local longe de Cruz Machado. As crianças estudam na pequena escola local ( Papuã ) onde aprendem português e tem aulas de idioma polonês.
Nós passamos uma alegre tarde com estas crianças que tem um jeito muito simples e belo.

These pictures were taken in a remote location afar from the Cruz Machado town.
The children learn to speak portuguese and polish language at a small school ( called Papuã )
in the country side. We had a great time with these kids wich were very simple and beautiful.

Working in this doc gave me old insights and connections of what was happening at that time in my life. That´s why this showing is a very personal view, however some pictures really belong to the making-of of the film. In the end the filming crew and the movie or the pictures make a part of a whole scenario. the movie becomes a living entity.

Voyage inside a documentary

These pictures were taken during a 7 day trip down south Brazil, to a small village called "Cruz Machado"

I went to work as a still photographer and making-of camera of the " De tempos em tempos "
( From time to time ) short documentary of director Ana Johann who kindly invited me to participate in it.

The work was done in august 2006 and I used a Sony W5 digital camera. I hope You enjoy

The Surroundings

Estas são as araucárias, que existem somente na região sul do Brasil
( existe uma variedade no sul do Chile também ) . Infelizmente eu
escutei muito barulho de motoserras em toda região e constatamos
que realmente estão queimando árvores para venda de carvão para
as aciarias do norte do Brasil.

These are the Araucaria trees, they only happen to exist
in this place in the world ( and another variety in Chile )
unfortunally I heard many chainsaw sounds in the area
meaning that they are really cutting down those ancient
trees to sell wood or make charcoal.

Misty Mountains

This is the look of the surroundings, there are lots of mist in the morning especially in the winter time, when it really gets cold there.

It´s magical place, but time and again you sadly see the charcoal trucks taking the burned wood to feed the steel industry in the state of Minas Gerais. Trading our forests for selling steel to China I guess.

Misty Morning

113. His disciples said to him, "When will the kingdom come?"
"It will not come by watching for it. It will not be said, 'Look, here!' or 'Look, there!' Rather, the Father's kingdom is spread out upon the earth, and people don't see it."

The gospel of St.Thomas
