Claudia Jaguaribe, a major figure on the Brazilian artistic scene, brings us her colourful, vertiginous views of Rio, the city of her birth.

The tension between change and permanence is what underpins the series Entre Morros, which studies the relationship between time and space by opposition to the notion of place. Claudia Jaguaribe shows the hillside communities in Rio de Janeiro simultaneously from far away and close up, from the inside and from the outside, from above and from the slope. The city of Rio in these photographs does not exist in a natural state, it is a ‘fabrication’, created from its urban contrasts: nature and city, wealth and poverty, violence and humanity. By mingling reality and subjectivity, the photographer stimulates our perception of what we see, creating layers of understanding and narrative, as if we were in a dream.
