CLAUDIO EDINGER Rio De Janeiro, 1952 MACHINA MUNDI | NYC CLAUDIO EDINGER Rio de Janeiro, 1952. Vive e trabalha em São Paulo, Brasil. Formado em Economia, Claudio Edinger é autor de 14 livros fotográficos e um romance. Começou a dar aulas de fotografia em 1979 na Parson's School of Design e mais tarde no International Center of Photography, ambos em Nova York. Começou a fotografar no início dos anos 70, enquanto estudava Economia na Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie em São Paulo. Em 1975 teve sua primeira exposição individual no MASP, com fotografias do prédio Martinelli de São Paulo. No ano seguinte se mudou a Nova York, onde morou até 1996. As fotografias do Claudio Edinger têm aparecido nas revistas mais importantes do mundo, incluindo Stern, The New York Times, London Sunday Times, Vanity Fair, Frankfurter Allgemeine, El País, Time, Paris Match, Newsweek, entre outras. Suas obras foram exibidas no ICP de Nova York, no Pompidou em Paris, na Photographer's Gallery em Londres, Perpignan Photo Fest, França, Higashikawa Photo Fest, Japão, Museu de Arte de São Paulo, Museu da Imagem e do Som (MIS), Instituto Cultural Itaú, Casa da Cultura Judaica e Centro Cultural Banco do Brasil. Atualmente seu trabalho integra várias coleções particulares e públicas. Machina “O olhar vem antes das palavras. A criança olha e reconhece antes de poder falar…. é o olhar o que estabelece o nosso lugar no mundo circundante; explicamos o mundo com palavras, mas as palavras nunca podem desfazer o fato de que estamos cercados por ele”. John Berger As primeiras fotografias aéreas, tiradas por Felix Nadar de um balão na década de 1860, marcam o início da emancipação do olhar. Ver o mundo não mais à altura dos olhos, mas através de uma “máquina voadora”, quebra o modelo de perspectiva renascentista. O corpo, agora móvel e flutuante, não é mais amparo à visão. Gradualmente, a terra se transforma em uma superfície plana, onde as fronteiras se confundem e se perdem de vista. A visão de cima fascina tanto pela beleza das paisagens desveladas quanto pelo sentimento de onipotência que ela inspira. A vasta do céu possibilita o distanciamento para percebermos nossa própria insignificância e a relatividade do todo. É esse afastamento que Claudio Edinger parece buscar em sua fotografias aéreas: a distância que permite a compreensão da intimidade com a cidade, ao mesmo tempo em que preserva suas belezas. Vista de cima, a Nova Iorque de Edinger é única, distinta. Através do foco e o desfoque, técnica conhecida como foco seletivo, o artista revela ao outro o que enxerga a sua fotografia, nos direciona ao seu próprio olhar dando nos a oportunidade de contemplar, ter o instante em mãos e poder sentir, pensar e criar novas interpretações e significados para o que aparentemente era incontestável. As imagens áreas de Nova Iorque há muito tempo fazem parte do nosso imaginário, no entanto, a ótica pela qual Claudio vê a cidade faz com que paisagens tão familiares tornem-se únicas, grandiosas. Ao olharmos suas fotografias, tudo ao redor se dissolve e somos levados ao mundo do belo, do harmonioso e divino. Gaston Bachelard esclarece que imaginação é, antes que a faculdade de formar imagens, a faculdade de deformar imagens fornecidas pela percepção – “se uma imagem presente não faz pensar numa imagem ausente... não há imaginação. Há percepção” 1. Essa imaginação, a capacidade de ressignificar a imagem tornando-a poesia, é fundamental no trabalho de Claudio Edinger. “Machina Mundi - NYC” é a mescla entre a precisão do fotógrafo ao controlar a máquina e o afeto pela cidade que foi fundamental para sua formação pessoal e fotográfica. De cima Claudio percebe o que está longe e perto, à distância encontra a forma eterna da cidade em que viveu por mais de vinte anos. 1 Gaston Bachelard, o Ar e os sonhos.

  • Building Urban Safety Through Slum Upgrading
    BUILDING URBAN SAFETY THROUGH SLUM UPGRADING Among the several forms of urban development interventions, slum-upgrading offers an incomparable opportunity to provide urban safety for the poor. Slum- upgrading, the orchestrated process to improve the built environment of a hu- man settlement, could mobilize many different actors in diverse policy areas at various levels. And it could give momentum to the idea that improving a neighbourhood comprises an overhaul of all dimensions of its life, including the freedom of citizens from the occurrence or risk of injury, danger, or loss, that is, their safety. Contemporary crime prevention tools are up to the task. Pro- gressively, the field has shifted its main concern from reducing measurements of either crime or violence to improving the quality of life. A holistic notion of “safety” has been brought into play and slum-upgrading interventions set a suitable scenario to realize its practical implications. Developing sustainable community ownership of public spaces and service infrastructure delivered through urban improvement programmes must be a major goal from the very first moment in intervention designs, as local security and safety conditions will critically depend on this outcome. Therefore two key components seem to be necessary in all upgrading intervention designs. First, a security of land and property tenure rights component and second, a capacity building component to support community empowerment processes as well as the activation of institutional processes in local government agencies

Brilliantly designed and laid out, this small book has generated a well-deserved buzz in the photobook world. Despite his newfound recognition, Alvermann remains little known.

Orientador: Profª Dra Claudia Valladão de Mattos Co- orientação: Profª. Dra. Lucia Helena Reily CAMPINAS 2010 iii iv v à Tainá vii AGRADECIMENTOS Agradeço primeiramente minha filha Tainá que acompanhou todas as etapas de elaboração deste trabalho, sempre presente e inspiradora, enfrentando corajosamente os percalços na nossa estadia em Londres. Aos meus pais cujas formações e interesses me apresentaram, desde a meninice, à possibilidade do diverso e permitiram a possibilidade de compreender a loucura de forma amplificada, contribuindo seguramente para que esta se configurasse rica, ampla e potencial, entre as minhas questões significativas; As minhas orientadoras profa. Dra. Claudia Valladão de Mattos e Profa. Dra. Lucia Helena Reily pela generosidade, apoio e suporte durante este percurso. A elas agradeço antes de tudo o exemplo, a paciência e as pontuações corretas e essenciais à lapidação, muitas vezes árdua, desta pesquisadora. Agradeço aos fotógrafos e a suas famílias, que me receberam em entrevistas e se mostraram sempre generosos em contribuir com o desenvolvimento das discussões elaboradas. Entre estes, Claudia Martins; Cláudio Edinger e a querida Ana Edinger, Alice Brill, Julian Czapski e Silvia Czapski; e Leonid Streliaev. Aos professores cujas contribuições e falas, muitas vezes pontuais, outras vezes em longos e abertos diálogos, reverberaram na forma com a qual pude me posicionar frente a este objeto de estudo.
