A picturesque voyage through Brazil #02
Cássio Vasconcellos
Cássio Vasconcellos is a celebrated Brazilian photographer known for his large-scale, meticulously composed images that explore the intersections of landscape, urbanization, and time. His work often fuses documentary practice with surreal, constructed perspectives, offering a powerful commentary on modern society's impact on nature and space.
In A picturesque voyage through Brazil #02 (2015), Vasconcellos reimagines the traditional landscape through a digital collage of countless aerial photographs. The result is a richly layered panorama that evokes both the vastness of Brazil’s geography and the complexities of its socio-environmental evolution. The scale and detail compel viewers to question what is real, what is manipulated, and how collective memory is shaped through images.
His works have been exhibited internationally, including at the Museum of Modern Art in São Paulo and the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris. Vasconcellos’s photographs are held in numerous institutional and private collections, and he is recognized as a leading voice in contemporary Latin American photography.
