Landscape: Pedro David
By; Ryan Cindric

Pedro David is a Brazilian visual artist and photographer with a bachelors in journalism. He has been dedication himself to the interpretation of the relationship between people and their environment. In it's various forms and context. 

His series- Stone Men, is an interpretation of the daily life in the Brazilian northeastern outback; the inhabitants of that region, and their close relationship with the harsh nature. It's a highly hybrid culture, a mix with traditional values, pre-industrial primitive activities, and the globalized behavior. Stone Men are all of the people who inhabit this landscape, trying to understand their juxtaposition of the different times running in their moving environment. You can see how barren the landscape is, making the struggle for life one that we may never know.

His series- Things Falling From the Sky, is a series done in response to objects appearing near his apartment, he says,
 "I moved my home to a ground level apartment with two private cement areas, soon i noted, small things appearing everyday on the ground, some recur, i collect them."

It's interesting to think about all the small things on the ground that get overlooked, and how we can create an environment for them just by getting close and taking a photo with the right focus. It's also interesting how he manipulated these objects in their space, and the choices he made when setting them up.
