THE SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY OF EMILIA BRANDÃO CARNEIRO
You may not know that F&deO is the first exhibition space focused on researching female art. If you haven’t done so already, you can visit it until July 30 in the best way: through **Sentimental Journey**, the beautiful and poetic exhibition by Brazilian photographer Emilia Brandão Carneiro.
Born in 1982 and a Leica ambassador in 2020, Brandão has exhibited not only in our country but also in Germany, Brazil, and France. Her series Sentimental Journey was awarded this year with an Honorable Mention by the 18th Julia Margaret Cameron Award for Women Photographers.
The photographs you will see at F&deO, taken in black and white, are a series of portraits of swans on the Seine in Paris. Each moment, each portrait, challenges the conventional image of such a photogenic bird and, from a poetic and somewhat unsettling perspective, establishes a direct relationship with the viewer. It’s the kind of experience that captivates and provokes thought.
