Synopsis
Brazil, a country of vast wealth and poverty, diverse cultures, rich and diverse nature and wildlife, festivals and an all encompassing rhythm and chaos of life was the site of Kawauchis most recent project after a two year break. The glossy colour photographs collected in this travelogue demonstrate, aside from the photographers hallmark eye for detail, a maturing vision and sensitivity that may deservedly be called monumental.
