Imaging Brazil 385: Inhotim Water Mirror in Brumadinho, MG (2012)

385: Inhotim water mirror

At a short distance (60 km) from Belo Horizonte, Inhotim Park and Contemporary Open Air Museum offers a unique combination of contemporary art and nature. Art works from various artists from Brazil and abroad are found widespread in the park. One of the art works is Galeria Adriana Varejão, created in 2008 by architect Rodrigo Cerviño Lopez from São Paulo. It consists of a large, closed concrete box, with an entrance over a water mirror. That water mirror forms a prefect division with the surrounding nature. As a result, the turquoise blue hue of the water mirror creates an interesting contrast with natural green hues of the plants, as is seen in  the photograph.

Imaging Brazil 314: Church’s Water Mirror Image in Aquidauana, MS (2011)

A personal selection of photographs with their stories.

314: Church’s water mirror image

Aquidauana is a very large municipality in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. It borders with a much larger municipality, Corumbá, which is more than twice the size of Belgium. Both municipalities are located in the Pantanal region, and both offer facilities of visit the vast wetlands of Pantanal, that is located Brazil and – to lesser extent – in the neighboring countries Paraguay and Bolivia. When I was in Aquidauana in November 2011, it was a very  hot day, with temperatures reaching forty degrees centigrade. Suddenly, there was a strong breeze that blew down various objects in the streets. I had to seek shelter. After this breeze I returned to the Igreja Matriz, where I noticed an interesting water mirror image of this gothic-style church in the small pond in front of this church.
