The story:
“After photographing the tiny isolated Amazonian village of Nazare do Mocajuba, the residents asked Alexandre Romariz Sequeira to take their picture. The ensuing photographs were printed life-size on the villagers’ old tablecloths (which the artist then replaced), and hung on the bushes by the Mocajuba river for the community to enjoy.

Some of them had never seen a photograph before. One old man said ‘had I this stuff before, I could now have the face of my lost child. All I can remember is him moving around, not his face.’

The photographs will never be sold. They will return to the people of Nazare do Mocajuba.”

i looked a little lost in that picture too.
