Somos Brasil is both an exhibition and a book created by Marcus Lyon. This series ventures into the diversity which exists in Brazil, observing the multitude of identities at the onset of the 21st century through high quality portraits. Marcus toured Brazil with a producer and sound recordist for six-months, in order to map the ancestral DNA and personal stories of over 100 remarkable Brazilians. The app uses image recognition system that allows you to listen to each person's story in their own words.
This project focuses on three elements of identity: visual, spoken and genetic. Once tied together we can get a joint view on the diversity of BRazil, through social, personal and cultural factors. |
