SPIRITUAL + PHISICAL => VIRTUAL = UNIVERSAL
In this project the artists try to harmonize the contradiction that exists between religion and photography. While the first is a movement from the phisical world towards the spiritual one, the later is the exact oposite.
While photographing the ritual of the afro-brazilian religion Umbanda wich involves dance, music, singing and offerings, we try to bring this spiritual world into the physical = a photo. Transposing these photos into virtual space they acquire a universal quality. They are everywhere and nowhere at the same time. They lose their physical support, the paper, and acquire a universal presence that is everywhere for anybody to see. They become omnipresent.
