1 EUSTÁQUIO NEVES Born in Juatuba, Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 1955 Lives and works in Diamantina, Minas Gerais, Brazil Eustáquio Neves is a genuine photography autodidact. He studied chemistry and music but finally devoted himself to the activity that has gained him celebrity and recognition. He has worked independently for several publications since 1984 and his work has been carried out in the field of ethnic studies within the Afrobrasilian community. He lives in the areas that served as refuge to fugitive slaves the quilombos. Since 1989 he has researched and developed alternative and multidisciplinary techniques, manipulating negatives and prints. He has spent the last five years researching electronic media, including sequence and movement. His work has been widely published in various exhibitions in Brazil and abroad, and has garnered awards and acclaim from the public and critics. In 1999 he was awarded first prize in the J. P. Morgan Photography Award, in São Paulo, Brazil, and that same year he enjoyed a Residency at Gasworks Studios and Triangle Arts Trust in London, UK CRISPÍN O ENCOMENDADOR DE ALMAS The diptychs and photographs in this series are based on the world inhabited by the character Crispin: his everyday life, the religious manifestations and the means of survival that prevail in his village. In order to create a picture of this world I have used symbolic elements, which are as important as the portraits. One such example is a wooden tool the gamela traditionally used to collect corn during the harvest, which I have used to evoke the plantations on which his community has always worked. Gamela wood is also used to make the sword that is carried in religious manifestations of Nossa Senhora do Rosário as a symbol of resistance. Crispin himself carries this sword when he walks at the head of the procession, scraping the floor with it as if opening the path for the religious cortège. Likewise, I use gamela wood to create the frames for my Crispin portraits. The photograph of the young girl Angela, who is related to Crispin, includes a container or platter the bateia normally used in diamond mining, the main regional source of income. The bateia in the photograph holds a flower species known as everlasting flower, which can only be found locally. As diamonds become increasingly scarce, the cultivation of these flowers is becoming a financial alternative for some families. Eustáquio Neves.
