Cao Guimarães
Belo Horizonte (MG)
Coletivo
[Collective/Bus], 2002
“A collective – of people, streets, quarters, names, buses that carry people around the streets of quarters named after persons.” This is how Cao Guimarães defines his work that, by means of closed framings and high-contrast images, builds a typographic dance based on bus signboards.
