The design project for the autobiographical book Doce Olhar para a vida navigates through the stories and photographs using cutting, pasting and coloring resources. This combination creates an affective and poetic visuality referring to old photo albums and almanacs. Two different color were used for printing: black and Pantone Blue 072U...

There is an intriguing story that says that Charles Darwin placed a live beetle in his mouth because he had no more room in his hands to carry it. The beetle defended itself by releasing acid in his tongue. This fact is told in the play and serves as a metaphor to speak about the power of words, the living force of a sentence coming out of someone's mouth, the importance of manifesting itself. After that, I started to look out for a real beetle to recreate that scene...

The editorial project navigates the text and photography contents using cutting, pasting and coloring resources throughout the book. The objective is to create a graphic-poetic visuality that gently and enthusiastically honors a community rich in unique characters, life stories and symbolic elements.

The images were created from a combination of manual embroidery by artist Carol Grilo, pencil and charcoal drawings, digital illustration and the shapes of the typographic face Graúna (Typeoca). Thus, the images in the story speak to characteristics that are normally associated with people with dyslexia, such as learning kinesthetically, which is a different way the brain interprets letters, numbers and sounds. The book was printed entirely in three Pantone colors which, when combined, ensure legibility and make the images easier to understand...

The book Escafandrista brings together 144 chronicles written over ten years by the screenwriter and writer Louraidan Larsen. The stories were created from orality, from conversations the author holds with unknown people, from tales he hears on the streets and in public spaces. The book also has a preface by cartoonist Laerte Coutinho...

The diversity of the Fungi Kingdom is fascinating. These watercolors form a body of work that aims to exercise observation and composition of both existent botanical beings and imaginary ones. The peak of expression in this exercise lies, in particular, in the free combination of colors and in the almost microscopic detailing of textures and shapes...

On April 3rd, 2020, Grupo Galpão would premiere its 25th play, directed by artists from Minas Gerais, Marcelo Castro and Vinícius de Souza, based on a immersion in contemporary Brazilian poetry. On March 18th, the collective decided to interrupt the rehearsals due to the advance of the Covid-19 pandemic that had just arrived in Brazil. Since then, the play has never premiered. This photo essay presents a little of what's left of the show's creation process that couldn't find its audience...

Jabuticaba is my first auto fictional book and mixes photography and poetry. Similar to an artist's book or a diary, the publication presents fragments of a journey two friends took through the countryside of Minas Gerais. The work consists of 48 cell phone photographs, 2 whatsapp prints, 10 poems and 2 attachments...

Idolatria and Masturbação are short stories books by the psychoanalyst Hugo Bento. For Idolatria, we created a graphic project that puts the author's text in dialogue with the materiality of the object. Three guiding concepts were listed: Academic Normativity, Emptiness and Masculinity. The first translates into classical diagramming. The second is a game with text and sheet transparency. For the third concept, we have Davidson, a mechanical lathe operator that left grease marks on each copy, as inspired by one of the book's tales, 'Do Sangue à Graxa' (From Blood to Grease)...

⭑ Project selected for the 12th Brazilian Biennial of Graphic Design.

To create the visual identity of the play, 543 matchsticks were burned and lined up. The goal was to create an image/metaphor to talk about the human species and its twilight. To talk about us: animals, strangers, diverse. Our similarities and differences. To talk about organization, systems, belonging, representation. To talk about time, about the traces of an event...

This publication organizes writings and images of the plays's design process. On the cover, a photo of a performance staged by the group in the context of the research. In the center pages, two company actors have their backs turned, as if they are going to meet each other...

For the 18th edition of the project, we were invited to create a communication proposal with a strong visual appeal, capable of reconciling the fair's professionalism with the irreverence of the music scene. Under the motto "venda seu peixe", possibly translated to english as “make it happen”, we developed a wide system of visual elements that were articulated in dozens of digital and printed pieces, including graphic signage and set design...

VAGAR is a work originally created for the inauguration of the cultural and gastronomic project A Central, in the centenary building CentoeQuatro, which is part of the Praça da Estação Architectural Complex. The saying “O Tempo Leva Tempo” [Time Takes Time] was taken from one of my father's poems, the northeast poet, Murilo Gomes. I chose it because it abbreviates memories and imaginaries of the above-mentioned building where the work was conceived...

A Central was a restaurant and cultural space housed inside the CentoeQuatro: a historic building located next to the railway, built in 1906 to house one of the first industries in the newly founded capital of Minas Gerais. Since its inauguration, in 2018, A Central has become a relevant space at the intersection of gastronomy, architecture, design and culture in Belo Horizonte...

Poster and show program for the play Cachorro Enterrado Vivo, by actor Leonardo Fernandes.

As we know the details of this relationship, we are confronted with the limits of human cruelty and irrationality...

The visual identity of the exhibition proposes a game with the proportion of the collective – numerous in the members but small in the name. The posters were screen-printed in the 76 x 112 cm format and covered with hundreds of adhesive circles. Then, they started to occupy several strategic and emblematic points of the city, interfering and creating new landscapes. The festival program was printed in the format 66 x 96 cm on newsprint and without folds...

The book’s graphic design project is organized around symbolic references to the published texts. The xerox, the typographic expression, and the black adhesive strips, widely used in documents, letters, and manifestos, establish a dialogue with the aesthetics and resources of the politics of resistance in Latin America. In opposition to the oppressive movements of erasure of memory, the project proposes to be an important archive in time...

This is Not a Portfolio is a compilation of images created by Estúdio Lampejo, a design studio founded by me, over a four-year trajectory. This is not exactly a portfolio, but a larger cut of the way of imagining and living design, which encompasses not only the results, but its paths, its residues and – why not – its failures. The publication has a magazine format and has four different cover possibilities...

The project Breves Bandeiras had as its starting point the flags of cities, states, nations and associations, their role in everyday life and the principles that guide their creation. Thinking about them as a visual platform for creation seemed interesting to us because of their social meaning, their cultural connotations, and the process of creating and editing their forms...

To celebrate 35 years of the group's trajectory, we created the visual identity for the commemoration tour and a series of posters. Faced with this great celebration of Brazilian theater, we chose to create an original typographic design for the numbers applied in large proportions to the pieces. The delicate and geometric shapes merge with the halftone images and the star, which is the group's icon. The posters were printed in silkscreen in black and gold...

Since 2006, the Grupo Maria Cutia has been based in Belo Horizonte and dedicated to research on street theater. To celebrate the group's 10th anniversary, we created a visual identity inspired by popular urban posters.

The work draws a biographical profile of the mythological actress from Minas Gerais, largely renowned for her trajectory with Grupo Galpão. The book is the result of a long process of research and living with the actress, which involved afternoons at her house, rummaging through folders and drawers. More than a formal biography, this project aims to translate Teuda's irreverence and charisma, trying to offer the reader a fluid experience that is as visually rich as her stories..

The visual identity proposal for the fifth edition was based on the maximum representation of the gesture of reading: a seated person holds a text in their hands. The usage of pink overflowing the edges of the graphic pieces creates a spatial relationship of amplitude and of lack of reference points. Similar to the act of reading texts, this visual strategy opens doors to the unknown and to other worlds. It is also not possible to identify those who read: the intentional clipping of the images sheds light on the power and delicacy of the notion of reading...

One of the challenges in creating the book was to graphically translate the concepts used by the author to think about theater and politics in Latin America. The line drawing of the juxtaposed maps was engraved on the cover, symbolizing the border relations and dialogue between countries. Along with this tactile effect, the audacious option for the absence of color reinforces the provocation about (in)visibility, another key concept in the creation of the project...

The challenge in this project was to translate into graphic pieces the sensory experience of writing, communicating actions in a versatile and cheap way. The poster series was created in three steps inspired by the layers of graphical information that a mail receives before it is mailed. In the foreground, printing directly on the media. Then, gluing adhesive labels and stamps...

⭑ Gold at the Brasil Design Award (2021)

The origin of Grupo Galpão is linked to the experimentation of languages. We were interested in thinking about design as a creative tool in the creation of the play, which in turn had the objective of taking the word off the paper, giving it body and voice, color and form. We proposed graphic experimentation exercises for actors, with a lot of freedom in writing and drawing, inspired by poems and by the title of the play. We organized photo shots motivated by the performativity exercises they had been working on...

For its fourth edition, the visual identity reflected the event's growth, deepening its dialogue with the city from the perspective of “expanding landscapes”. The graphic proposal was organized around the documentation of urban interventions created by Estúdio Lampejo. In these interventions, dressed-up workers marked out cuts in urban landscapes using a yellow signaling tape...

The development of the visual identity of the show took as its starting point analog photographs that were taken during the rehearsals. The camera simulates a movement in the image through the frame sequence. The work with intense and blurred color photos reveals a climate of saturation and uncertainty, pointing to the imminence of a near and inexorable future. The font used for the title alludes to science fiction posters. The play's program works like a flipbook and recreates the anguish and movement of the characters towards the unknown...

On the company's 10th anniversary, we were invited to create a series of commemorative posters that would translate the close relationship between the group and the city. The photographic images reveal some subtleties: from the concrete of the emblematic Praça da Estação to the remaining wall of a house demolished in the process of removals for the expansion of an avenue...

Gritocão is the third book of poetry by the actor and writer Assis Benevenuto.
