Samenvatting
There is perhaps no place on our planet that is imbued with more spirituality than the Amazon rainforest. During his artist’s residency at LABVERDE, a programme for artistic immersion in the Brazilian Amazon, Paul Cupido took his camera and entered into a silent dialogue with this enchanting and mystical environment, focusing on leaves, foliage, water, and the moon. His photographic work revolves around the principle of mu, a philosophical concept that is open to countless interpretations. Mu can be considered a void, albeit one that holds potential. With ‘Amazônia’, he explores the ephemeral and symbolic correspondences between the body and the earth.
