Caio Reisewitz (born 1967 in São Paulo, where he lives and works) is one of
Brazil's leading contemporary
photographer. The register of a high-speed changing
nature
is one of the subjects that articulates Reisewitz's photographic
work.
In this sense, his images are placed in a tradition in which photographic
means are witnesses and capture ephemeral realities. The activity of man
on the planet, and in certain areas in particular, radically modifies the
appearance of the
landscape.
His photographs, that are mostly large format, are characterized by their
frontality and by a spectacular clarity that shows an exuberant nature and
a unreal utopian beauty. On one occasion he himself commented: “sometimes
these images don't seem real, utopian they are, but they are true, it is
the pure reality.”
