TextSeries: ZUM ; #24Publication details: Sao Paulo; Bolsa ZUM/IMS; 2023Description: 184p; 26x21cmSubject(s): Summary: AT CERTA ALTURA, the narrator of the photo novel Jongo & Adriano, created by the artist Yhuri Cruz , asks himself what freedom consists of. The answer seems obvious in the context of slave-owning Brazil. But the parable of the escape is a revolt against the enslavement of bodies as much as the imprisonment of affections. Freedom is the absence of fear and discomfort, Cruz summarizes. Freeing oneself from everyday oppression and social constraints moves many of the artists in this edition. Sydney Amaral confronts white hedonism in collages that mock symbols of pleasure and power. The surreal atmosphere contrasts with the sobriety of the self-portraits against a black background, in which Amaral faces his personal and artistic dilemmas: to work or to eat, to live or to die? Texts: Athi Mongezeleli Joja , Clarissa Diniz , Eliana Alves Cruz , Holly Roussel , Luciara Ribeiro , Oluremi C. Onabanjo , Sandra Benites , Walter Moser Photographs: André Vilaron , Edgar Kanaykõ , Gabriela Biló , João Zinclar , Ming Smith , Pixy Liao , Renata Felinto , Sabelo Mlangeni , Sidney Amaral , VALIE EXPORT , Yhuri Cruz.
