Tinsquo's curatorial project, Adjacent To Life, presents Um Sonho Brasileiro by Camille Farge.
Camille Farge’s exhibit Um Sonho Brasileiro presents love as both content and context.
Based in New York, the French Chilean photographer has an extremely special bond with her father Georges. Five years ago, Georges moved to Brazil and Camille’s passion for photography blossomed with her exploration of a new country. Her discovery of Brazil through the lens of a camera is influenced by the teachings and lifestyle of her father.
“Le monde appartient ŕ ceux qui ce levent tot” (The world belongs to those who wake up early) is a phrase that Georges echoes and embodies. He puts great importance on appreciating each day as if it was his last. With an emphasis on this way of life, Camille is able to navigate Brazil with a deep hunger for life.
Um Sonho Brasileiro is what Brazil feels like to Camille, a dream. The warmth and joy of its people, the explosive colors on every corner, the powerful deep-rooted music that gives goosebumps to the listener, the freedom of bodily expression, the chaos, the carefreeness, the diversity… Brazil has left its beautiful mark on Camille.
Um Sonho Brasileiro is on view through September 2 at the Adjacent to Life pop-up gallery housed in Ninth Street Espresso (341 E. 10th Street at Ave B, New York City).
