Invited by the Museum of Modern Art in Sao Paolo in Brazil, initially to photograph the Japanese immigrants there, Rinko Kawauchi went three times and the work has in the end become broader, succumbing to the beauty of a visually rich country.

The artist captures the beauty of ordinary moments which we often ignore. She speakes quietly of the profundity of quotidian things. Kawauchi has become one of the most celebrated
Japanese photographers of her generation.

Holding the overwhelming energy, every moments in Brazil is inscribed beautifully, delicately, and sometimes nostalgically in Rinko Kawauchi's images.

The different races and cultures, the disparity in wealth, festivals and everyday life, and the country, where all the things are mingled. The rhythm of life are welling up from the chaos.
In this new series of work, you will see a new ground of Rinko Kawauchi, which she found in Brazil.

"What I wanted to see might be be the immense power of Brazil, a country able to absorb everything like the so-cold Devil's Throat, which swallows Iguacu Falls' main flume in a deafening roar" - Rinko Kawauchi
