The Eternal Now - Mario Cravo Neto






"Quite often the duality between objects of inanimate nature and representatives of the animate world is underscored, "The subjects’ identities are nearly always obscure by something – a stone, a turtle, a bird, a nail-studded African idol – held before their heads; the work never suggests faceless alienation, but its opposite: a sublime if unsettling union of a man and nature."

V. Aletti in The Village Voice, New York, 22 September 1992. writing on Mario Cravo Neto

It takes a some digging to get past the writing, but the effort is paid off with some excellent photographs.
