Dionisio González
FAVELA – AN ASSEMBLED CITY (Brazil, 2004-2007)
It is rare to hear anything positive about the favelas, the slums of Brazilian cities. Dionisio Gonzáles presents a contrasting view of them in his visual collages which bring together elements of the favelas and of hyper-modern new buildings in lively, colourful images. This is more than a formal game with photographs: González uses the results to begin dialogue with local authorities and inspire them to improving the neighbourhoods.
