Claudia Andujar and Fondation Cartier unveil The Yanomami Struggle at The Shed in New York.
When photographer Claudia Andujar first arrived in Yanomami territory in northern Brazil in the early 1970s, she intended to take photographs of the indigenous Yanomami people for a new politically minded Brazilian magazine,. But ultimately the images she made—many of which make up the mournful, hopeful, deeply moving exhibitioncurrently underway at The Shed in New York— only constitute a fragment of her legacy for the Yanomami.
The photographs that Andujar took of the Yanomami in 1971, and those that she has taken in the half-century since, along with various works on paper and film by Yanomani artists, are part of a traveling exhibition co-organized with the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain and the Moreira Salles institute in Sao Paulo. It is an exceptional exhibition, with work that is staggering in its volume , and the scope and depth of its intimacy.Artwork © Claudia Andujar. Collection of the artist.
There are images of births and deaths, hunting and gathering, projects and play, ruminative portraits of bellies and nipples and lips and eyes, communal huts lit ceremonially aflame, of shamanic rituals and the accordant visions. Some are straight reportage style, some capture their more mystical and cosmological themes using photographic techniques like multiple exposures and infrared film.
