Industrial warehouses in the neighborhood of mooca.
This work investigated a peculiar part of the city of São Paulo, two parallel streets that follow the railroad tracks and resist the displacement of industries out the urban centers. It is the living ruins of industrialization, so peculiar in the city during the XX century.
To portray these buildings I have chosen a perspective correction, the frontality, the sun’s hard light. These options canceled the intimidation that the height of the warehouses cause to the viewer, allowing an unusual and expressive visual. More than landscape, the images are portraits of the faces of a ghost town as a painting by Giorgio de Chirico.
