camera obscura

camera obscura

Totally by accident, a damaged lock (broken during my apartment renovation) turned the living room into a true Camera Obscura, reflecting the (inverted) image of the outside scenario on the corridor wall. To make the picture a bit sharper, I pasted black construction canvas in the hall, like the curtains of old-time photographers. This is undoubtedly the biggest camera I've ever had.

De forma totalmente acidental, uma fechadura estragada durante a reforma de meu apartamento transformou a sala de estar em uma legítima Camera Obscura, refletindo a imagem (invertida) do exterior sobre uma das paredes da área comum do prédio. Para deixar a imagem um pouco mais nítida, colei lona preta de construção no hall, exatamente como as cortinas com que os fotógrafos lambe-lambe se cobriam. Esta é, sem dúvida, a maior máquina fotográfica que já tive.

o universo (que outros chamam a biblioteca)

o universo (que outros chamam a biblioteca)

Real Gabinete Português de Leitura, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, Oct-2011.

This sumptuous reading room contains more than 350,000 books, mostly about the portuguese culture (it is the biggest library in the world about portuguese subjects outside Portugal). It was built in the Neo-manueline style in 1837 and is four stories tall, full of jacaranda tables and bookshelves, capped with a stained-glass dome and illuminated by an elaborate chandelier. Its unusual facade is stylized with sailors’ knots, seashells, and Moorish motifs.

eram os curitibanos astronautas?

eram os curitibanos astronautas?

Misterioso artefato descoberto no Passeio Público, Curitiba, Brasil, 2006.

Feições humanóides da estrutura e impecável precisão do corte na pedra bruta (que apenas brocas de diamante contemporâneas poderiam realizar) lançam dúvidas sobre a historiografia tradicional da cidade. Datações de Carbono 14 permanecem inconclusivas.

Filólogos e Lingüistas debatem nova interpretação da expressão "Coré Etuba" como sendo "Pinha das Estrelas" e a "Santa" da lenda do Cacique Tindiquera é retraduzida como "Homem dos Olhos de Caracol" em língua Tingüi.
