Sideral was an itinerant stereo system that is played in the popular parties and in the countryside towns of Para, title of the main work on display and that summarizes the colors and lights present in the author\u2019s universe. The filmmaker Guilherme Coelho, director of the movie Orphans of Eldorado, based on the book by Milton Hatoum and personal friend of Braga, was invited to write a presentation text that recounts his first contact with the photographer\u2019s work and instant fascination caused by that world of lights and dazzling colors. As Guilherme recalls:\r\n\r\n\u201cSIDEREAL in us.\r\nIt must have been in Bel\u00e9m, on the margin of Guam\u00e1, in an exhibition of Arte Par\u00e1, where I first saw a picture of Luiz. Look how lucky: in Bel\u00e9m, on the second floor of the House of the Eleven Windows, facing the river that is sea. But it is not the Guam\u00e1, it is the Bay of Guajar\u00e1. Down there, there was the Boteco of the Eleven Windows, one of the greatest pleasures I\u2019ve had. A chilled night, fish for dinner, loving to discover a new city.\r\n\r\nA city where I came back years later, and by the hands of the writer who gave me a movie. Then I met Luiz in person. One late afternoon, Amazonic twilight, it had rained. A stubborn light. Dusk. A look that I very much wanted to bring to our \u2018Orphans of Eldorado\u2019. I met Luiz in his studio, and together we saw some of this photos on the computer. And we discussed this Northern light. And the North never left me.\r\n\r\nLuiz is an imaginary that has always existed within us, and we did not know it was there. Just like the great stories and the great storytellers who invent us \u2013 Nelson Rodrigues and his scoundrels and dupes; Clarice Lispector and our stubborn and ruminants minds \u2013 Luiz shows us how we look out into the world. And we see it with enchantment, with grandeur, frivolous and deeply.\r\n\r\nSeeing his photos, I see myself exuberant and melancholic. Full of emptyness. I feel the heat and I feel alone. And so often I find myself within his frame, his sidereal space.\r\n\r\nSidereal are his landscapes. Lunar. Filtered by infrared. An aesthetic that helped me dream the Amazonian green. The challenge of green. The challenge of seeing.\r\n\r\nAn empty hammock here at the exhibition. But another hammock, this one from 1990, perhaps in Guam\u00e1 (this time, the neighborhood). A hammock with a girl looking at us. A girl becoming a woman. A picture that would be \u2018impossible\u2019 today, he says. Prohibited, improper. In our movie, this photo, this girl, turned into Dira Paes.\r\n\r\nAnd for this same movie we found inspiration in another picture: another girl, clumsy on a bar table. Also in the neighborhood of Guam\u00e1? For me, for us, the crew of the film, that was \u2018Dinaura, in Arminto\u2019s pose\u2019. And so, like this, we built a language around the characters of Milton Hatoum. Characters crossed by the look of Luiz Braga.\r\nI remember that evening when we were in his studio and Luiz showed us a picture of Iara, the \u2018senhora\u2019 of the waters, the goddess of rivers. I think in an arm of a river, near Bragan\u00e7a, in the state of Par\u00e1. The sacrum sidereal of a green image, in the heart of the forest, in our heart. This is the light of Luiz.\u201d\r\n\r\nAbout the artist:\r\nLuiz Braga (Bel\u00e9m \u2013 Par\u00e1, 1956, lives and works in Bel\u00e9m) has participated in several solo and group exhibitions in Brazil and abroad.
