Project title: Brazil 0-0
Project details:
Not a book about design, but a book about Brazil, narrated by design. “Brazil Zero-Zero” consists exclusively of graphic materials: a collection of saints, pamphlets, and stickers with political advertisements from the 1982 and 1985 election campaigns. Old posters reprinted and pasted through the streets of São Paulo today. Images collected from social networks during the 2018 presidential campaign. Photos of Brasilia taken on polling day of the first round. By articulating graphic materials of such a distinctive nature to tell a single story, “Brazil Zero-Zero” presents not only an unusual structure, but also a daunting portrait of the country, emphasizing the idea that graphic culture can (and should) expand beyond its restricted environments and be used as a powerful narrative element
