Some of the most impressive photography work we saw at Photo Miami came from Dionisio Gonzalez, who deftly documents the architectural disarrangement of shanty towns in Sao Paolo, Brazil by piecing together photos of the shanty towns themselves with photos of modern, geometric architecture that blend the clean and modern with the grungy and scattered. The artistic result is a long, landscaped image that will at once please and confuse your eyes at they trace from one side to the other. Gonzalez is represented by Fiedler Contemporary in Koln, Germany– but otherwise, there is little information on the web about this uber-talented photographer and artist. The best link I found to a sampling of his work (besides Fiedler Contemporary’s site) is here.

I found this very interesting. it very clearly and cleverly shows how architects are contributing to the growing gap between the rich and poor.

I am interested in finding out his process…it appears that he is working in a digital format and yet the images appear very realistic to the eye. His use of matching colors from modern Arquitectura y los shantys is truly amazing! Does his work have the same effect en vivo? Any idea how large these pieces are?
