GONCALVES, Sandra Maria Lúcia Pereira. Miguel Rio Branco: time, art and document. Estúdio [online]. 2012, vol.3, n.5, pp.330-337. ISSN 1647-6158.

This article focuses on Miguel Rio Branco's (born in Las Palmas, Canary Islands, 1946) photographic and artistic path. The Silent Book (1997), a wordless book, was chosen to think about the relations that Miguel Rio Branco establishes in his work between time, document and the artistic universe. Baroque images that focus on garbage, brothels and decadent boxing gyms fray the photographic document tissue, reflect time and enter the artistic universe. Rouillé (2009), Dubois (1998) and Sousa (2004) will support this reflection To finish, it is hoped to find in these images and its catenation, an explanation of the crystal image concept (Deleuze, 2005; Farorelli, 2003). Miguel Rio Branco currently lives and works in Rio de Janeiro. Some of the images in the book may be seen in www.miguelriobranco.com.br.

Keywords : photography; document; art; time; Miguel Rio Branco.
