Pedro Guimarães
Paraisópolis
I remember very well my last visit to Brazil, specially the ride from the airport to my friend's house. The first impact is usually the strongest, and this initial contact with Brazil was no exception. As my friend was driving me to São Paulo, I remember looking out the window and seeing an impressive view of a favela (slum). I asked her what was the name of that place, and she replied "Paraisópolis". The sound of that toponym, that literarily means "paradise city", sounded too mysterious to be forgotten (I often visit places simply because I like their names). Some days later I went there again and exposed my first plate in Brazil. The image on the ground glass showed me that chaos can sometimes become a synonym for peace. That was a wonderful introduction to the Brazil that would follow.
