Summary: | Twelve of the most important contemporary Brazilian female artists documented in their diverse workplaces and studios in the photographic essay "Marco Zero" by brazilian photographer and visual artist Gustavo Malheiros. "The focus of this book is the ground zero (marco zero) on which the work of art is built, and an invitation to the reader to go through the places where the works of art are incubated and from where they come out into the world.Taken together, Malheiros's photographic essays offer a unique document -although partial and subjective- of the creative processes in places as varied as houses, industrial warehouses, commercial buildings and residences, institutional spaces, forests and urban landscapes. The photos gathered, besides not showing the physical conditions of the studies -their scales, illumination, amplitude-, allow the reader an immersion in the material universe of each artist."
