Author Description

First time in Brazil exhibition of the emblematic "Mysteries" series by the Wales (UK) born artist. Streaming from various devices -photo sequences, installations, sculptures- the corpus of his work approaches the "Narrative Art", a conceptual art movement of the 1970's. "Mac Adams' photographs, mostly in the form of diptychs, feature a police narrative in which the mystery of a crime underlies the internal relations between one image and another. This narrative is woven through the observation of details and read between the lines of light and shadow. This book links Adams' productions to literary texts whose authors were suggested by photographs of their choices. In this way, the narrative intrinsic to Adams' work multiplies, as in a play of mirrors, his interpretive potential in this dialogue between literature and photography."
