The World — Culture and Nature in Lagoa do Ouro
2013, photo book.

Text, photography, book cover hand-painted on linen,

The photo album and artist book documents that
Project of the same name, which I developed in Lagoa do Ouro in 2008
together with local youngsters.
It was designed as a handy photo album, on the one hand, for the people of Lagoa do
Ouro, as a souvenir of the project, as well as for a broader interested Audience.
The book cover was hand-painted in Lagoa do Ouro, using the original templates
of the project.
At that time, five years later from the original project, I found, to my surprise,
the same core group of participants, now young adults, willing to work together once again.
We’ve made a total of about 54 different motifs of the book covers.
The book was launched in Lagoa do Ouro during the weekly market and with the „carro de som“
(the speaker truck) announcing it.
A video of it can be seen on Youtube:
