Faces of the Rain Forest House Structures

COUNTRY: BRAZIL and VENEZUELA
CITY: Estates: Roraima, Acre,Amazon (Brazil and Venezuela)
YEAR: 1995 - 2000

These photographs lie halfway between anthropology and art. “Halfway between” may be the safest place to be today, when conflicted feelings about interest in tribal people run so deep that even curiosity about their appearance can be read as exploitation…Though Cruz says he does not want to make the print speak more insistently than the subject, he will not neglect his craft, and these selenium toned black-and-white have a lovely color and quality.
