Abstract

To enter Sylvia Caiuby Novaes’s universe, we are invited to come aboard on a real journey. For someone who has photography as a central part of her personal and affective trajectory, there could not be a better way to enter it. This visual essay, builtwith many hands is a composition of photographs from this trajectory, about which we indicate its itinerary. This montages result from long conversations, and research on Sylvia's archives and memories; they take us to meet people and places that this anthropologist has loved, and where she has built homes. In a play of mirrors, Sylvia revisits different moments of her trajectory, sewn in a weft where lived and remembered events reveal to us something typical of everything that is constantly being created.
