Salon #62 — Claudia Jaguaribe and Winfried Heininger of Kodoji Press

Join us for an in-person salon with photographer Claudia Jaguaribe and publisher Winfried Heininger of Kodoji Press.

Address will be provided when RSVP confirmed starting October 15.

Claudia Jaguaribe’s Asphalt Flower (Editions Bessard, 2022) is a leporello book: one huge, single image which creates a “second Nature.” The work revisits the idea of landscape as a garden which expresses what connects Humans to Nature. It is an iconic place for the cycles of life (growth, flowering and decline) and a reflection of the society that shapes it. The superimposed images of flowers symbiotically entering asphalt forms shows us a surface that encapsulates nature since biblical times and can no longer be separated from it. Nature and culture are inextricable, one becoming the other. The photographic composition takes form between the idea of a world that seems to be heading towards a natural disaster and a future in which it struggles to maintain the force of resilience and resistance.

Claudia Jaguaribe’s work is mainly focused on the urban landscape and environmental issues. The materiality of her works questions the very nature of photography as she expands traditional formats by creating photo sculptures. She has 20 books published and recognized by the singularity of the photographic integration and graphic design. (@cjaguaribe)
