Paraty in Focus 2011

The Olhavê starts a new section called "The picture I wanted to do." We start with the curator and photography critic Chiodetto Eder.

I will make the photo I wanted to do!

For Chiodetto Eder.

The picture I wanted to have this done is by an unknown author, my mom naked!

No, no issue unresolved Freudian beyond what we have and all we know for strength and work of Nelson Rodrigues. The issue here is that this picture has taught me the concept of time when I was a child. As a child it was inconceivable to believe that one day my mother was small and frail as I, as a child. Mothers and fathers seem to have been born adults, strong, unshakable. It is true that, ironically, when we become adults believe that they begin to become children again ... But the fact is that our parents look at children is a temporal paradox, dizziness, discomfort.

I wish I had made this picture because I find beautiful in its field focal reduced in expressive look beyond account for age, body contouring in the design of the background color, the pose, with touches of bold pedophiles to fool today's morality , but only beautiful and naive in 1936! My mother will be 73 years this week. The weather turns, life unfolds in spirals ... Today I see my mother as a child. And I'm a little father. Wiles of the time! We think that life develops linear and suddenly comes a photograph to show that past and future do not exist. And if there is inconceivable equivalents! So I think I'm going to make this picture. Well, think of me: Juju was the child, as the photo shows me, before I was there, now that she is returning to childhood, as inevitably happens in the "best age", and that inevitably happen to me too, some years it will be again this beautiful baby and I will, retroactively, a novice photographer, unknown. And I will make the picture!
