Abstract

The analysis of images of the photographer Tiago Santana, from Ceará, shows how his look creates a hybrid composition of the human and animal bodies. His pictures in symbiosis highlight the interdependence of beings in the backwoods, through several technical choices. In this article, we study how the shadow is used as a fictional and causing element of the changing in identity, bringing to Santana’s work a visual paradox characteristic of the artistic contemporary photography.
