Brazil Incarnate

Christopher Pillitz spent five years traveling through Brazil with his camera. The result is a look at the lascivious, erotic cult of the body in Brazil, in which the boundaries between Eros and sex, narcissism and exhibitionism are virtually impossible to make out.
His sensual, moving images reveal to us the perspective of the fascinated observer. Yet Pillitz does not mime the viewer-from-a-distance. His camera seems to mingle with the people around it, provoking more than one eccentric to flights of exhibitionist fancy.
