Cápsula

Description:

Cápsulaʺ, first book by photographer Sandra Gonçalves, was born from the desire to make visible the family of workers of unhealthy activities, in the specific case of the daily life of coal workers in the urban center of the city of Rio de Janeiro. However, the universe that encompasses could be in any city or country of a globalized world, where the less privilages, the exploitation of the other and poverty are the products par excellence generated. The book aims to give visibility to a reality unknown to the vast majority and that takes place in the middle of the urban center. A reality that was believed to have remained in the past centuries.
