Contemporary photography has a strange capacity of disorientation. At times, it is too obvious and raw, offering itself to the different creative possibilities of interpretation; at other times it mainly belongs to the order of mysteries in the world of representation, either for its elaborate construction process, either for its radical visual experience, giving the image an enormous power of seduction and persuasion. In this differentiated photograph in terms of production and apprehension, that has an assured presence in the visual arts' panorama, we can locate the work of Cássio Vasconcellos.

In that sense, Cássio Vasconcellos's itinerary is in perfect tune with that which now we denominate expanded photography – the one that breaks paradigms, that subverts the instituted model, that moves toward a fraying of its specificity. In this series, he instituted an aesthetic program that, unlike his multiple and singular previous experiences, moves toward a differentiated interpretation of the urban space, with the strength and the boldness that challenge the pasteurized banality of the ordinarily conveyed image. He offers us, besides the carefully chosen forms, the opportunity to contemplate a city intimately unknown, aiming his camera to that which our busy eyes can’t notice.
