Lonely People (Where do they all come from?)

Make sun, rain, or the most intense cold. People living on the streets and abandoned. But all have a story and a destination.

The conception of this little video, was when I was driving through the downtown of Sao Paulo, listening to the Beatles' Eleanor Rigby, it was a night of intense cold.

Immediately reminded of a photograph in which I had taken, in which a homeless than to note my camera in hand, asked me to photograph it in style and posed in their "backyard".

At the time that I photographed, it was summer, not that it lessened the burden of sleeping on the streets, but in winter it becomes much more painful. I thought about how she was not only her but many others who live in a state of total abandonment.

Had the idea of using a single photo that had her, and make the short journey of dreams and reflections. Where the golden clothes blends with other intense colors and vivid, contrasting with cloudiness, entwining with our daily lives.

The ultimate revelation, like a photographic print, occurs in an instant, when it reveals the strength of a steady gaze and decisive. One look at us.

Faça sol, chuva, ou o mais intenso frio. Pessoas vivem pelas ruas abandonadas e ao relento. Mas todas tem uma história e um destino.


A concepção desse pequeno vídeo, se deu quando estava dirigindo pelo centro de São Paulo, escutando Eleanor Rigby dos Beatles, era uma noite de frio intenso.

Lembrei de imediato de uma fotografia na qual eu havia sacado, na qual uma moradora de rua que ao notar minha câmera na mão, me pediu para fotografá-la e posou com estilo em seu "quintal".

Na época que a fotografei, era verão, não que isso diminuísse o peso de dormir nas ruas, mas no inverno tudo se torna muito mais doloroso. Pensei em como ela estaria, não só ela, mas outras tantas que vivem nessa situação de abandono total.

Tive a ideia de usar a única fotografia que tinha dela, e fazer uma pequena viagem de sonhos e reflexões. Onde o dourado de suas roupas se funde com outras cores intensas e muito vivas, contrastando com nebulosidades, se entrelaçando com o nosso cotidiano.


A revelação derradeira, como uma impressão fotográfica, se dá em apenas um instante, quando se revela a firmeza de um olhar firme e decisivo. Um olhar para nós.

Those who clatter down the street, those who clatter around in their humble abode all alone, those who enter the fray and knock elbows-there are different degrees of lonely people. Sometimes, it's better to be alone than to be lonely. That's where some of them come from.
