Record Collection

"Stay Way"is a group of 3 people which are playing together for more the 8 years, it is a punk rock band, trying to keep the punk culture alive back in Brazil. We grown up all together, I used to go in the concerts which they were paying with them own money. So those images are picture that I've manipulated to create my record collection. That is my collection!

Alpha-bet

Inspire by Sao Paulo street tags (pixaçao). The style is different, it is nothing similar to the normal tags you see. They create different fonts and than make lot of change in the format, normally really complicate to understand. There is quality in the letters, it is really inspire the people which like to develop new fonts.

THE MiSSiNG KNiFE- Mauricio Fonseca

Sketch by Mauricio Fonseca. Pencil on cardboard paper.


In the sketch we can see there are only 4 knives on the knife block, which I did on purpose. One knife is missing from the block. This reflects that a crime could be happening or someone is cooking.

My purpose is to show the crime itself, how the knives are present to our lives, if it is for cooking or killing each other.

I try to use a kitsch object to relate to a fundamental prerequisite; to express all the availability of cultural traditions, which contain all those values that kitsch can draw on. The knife block is present in our kitchen and knives are everywhere.

Collage by Mauricio Fonseca
Collagen over cardboard paper
Photography

I had started by thinking how could I transform the sketch to a 3-dimensional effect, to try to give more emphasis to my image. By doing that, I found a really interesting way to accomplish the effect I wanted. I cut some pieces of colour sheet board and some pieces of colour paper to present the effect I wanted in the objects.
I made this collage with 3 colours; blue, red and yellow - the basic, primary colours.

The blue keeps the focus on the image, a shock of a missing knife.

The red one reflects the blood.

The yellow indicates respect and the values of humanity. Human being.

I had kept to shapes of the Sketch, and added a background using blue paper in the format of an explosion to bring focus to the image.
