The series Onda Avalanche Vulcão by Mauro Restiffe and Maria Manoella, combines intimate portraits captured by the couple with photographs of landscapes they explored together, establishing a symbolic dialogue between the human body and the forces of nature.
Created in collaboration with Familia Editions, the eponymous artist book includes a special edition accompanied by a signed and numbered photograph from the series.
The aim of this editorial project—which offers a more intimate presentation of the works in terms of scale and rhythm—is to deepen the mystery surrounding intimacy and our relationship with images. Onda Avalanche Vulcão invites us to reflect on what it truly means to let go and connect, both physically and emotionally.
* Translator’s Note:
The title Onda Avalanche Vulcão translates literally to Wave Avalanche Volcano. The original Portuguese has been retained to preserve its poetic and conceptual resonance.
