Summary:
As a collection of photographs of the house of seven states of the Northeast -Bahia, Alagoas, Sergipe, Pernambuco, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará -, "Heartland Brazil" records the final product of the transformation that these houses have undergone over the last four decades. Thirty-four years after the publication of Pinturas e Platibandas (1987), by Anna Mariani, seminal documentation of the Brazilian popular architectural heritage, the book "Heartland Brazil" composes an updated inventory of the popular house of the northeastern hinterland, joining Eiger's images to texts by design experts. "This book reveals, through the refined gaze of Elaine Eiger, an outburst of creativity. The beautiful façade compositions mix and match graphisms and myriad materials, and the results are never obvious. What's remarkable isn't the unexpected compositions, so much as the power of creative expressions." -Verso Cover. Elaine Eiger is a Brazilian photographer, born in São Paulo. She chose the architectural and urban themes as the focus of her work, becoming a tireless urban story teller.
