It was so fun to host students of @purchaseartdesign for a really substantial studio-visit with @nandita.raman last week and share about my process, successes and failures! They had to (mostly) sit on the floor and only got minimal Halloween candy treats but they stuck with it with such zest and interest for three hours! A full studio is a happy Studio! ❤️🙏🏽🌈 #studiovist #artistlife #queerartist #students #teaching #india #brazil #olympicfavela #indianmen 🎬 📸 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #marcleclef #artist #curator #portraitphotography #fineartphotography #contemporaryphotography #newphotography #analog #queerartist #dosti #documentaryphotography #artcollector #research #120film #visualart #filmphotography #contax645 #documentaryphotography #photobook #artistarchive #brooklynartist (at Brooklyn Navy Yard) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4HhKZ5l9de/?igshid=1ldqo2cunb2jm

Me and my little black monster somewhere in Karnataka ... I began using this medium format #analog camera during my work on #olympicfavela in Brazil, and there is something about its physicality that makes my work more collaborative and I would not want to miss that connection with the people I photograph for anything. ✨🎥🇮🇳 #fieldwork #india #offthebeatenpath 📸@weightlessweight . . . . . . . . . . . . . #marcleclef #artistlife #artist #curator #portraitphotography #fineartphotography #contemporaryphotography #newphotography #analog #queerart #queer #interview #dosti #documentaryphotography #artcollector #ifyouleave #family #research #120film #filmisnotdead #visualart #afpmagazine #myfeatureshoot #documentaryphotography #lensculturestreets #contax645 https://www.instagram.com/p/BsdN3qCl8xx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j0b4qzg0fyl3

“ There was the directness of the beauty and the looming destruction. She embodies these two sides, the David and the Goliath, and she embodies it because she’s this frail little old lady, yet she stands there proud and strong with the flare and is ready to take on the fight. Which she did, and she was successful with her neighbors: The highway was moved into the forest. It’s still there, really close to her home, but she didn’t lose her home.” ... from the #interview with @greg_from_a_leg for the new issue of @foglifterjournal bearing the portrait of Vò Zeze from the #OlympicFavela project 2012-2016 on its cover. 💕💪🏽💥 #resistência #liberdade #womenempowerment #thefutureisfemale (at Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro)

Look how beautifully the #design of the new issue of queer literary journal @foglifterjournal came out! Happy to see these images from #OlympicFavela come to life on the front and back covers ... Vò Zezè is both David and Goliath, and I fondly remember how happy she was to be included in my project and book .... 💕 The idea for this collaboration with @Greg_from_a_leg was born @macdowellcolony during our residencies there. The companionship, wisdom and kindness of my fellow #artist residents there will stay with me for a long time. #resistance #humanrights #marcleclef #foglifterjournal #publication #bookcover #fineartphotography #coverart . . . . . . . . . . . . #portrait #riodejaneiro #cidadeolimpica #contemporaryphotography #curator #literarymagazine #foglifter #published #interview #art #artistlife #mariellefranco #brazil #brasil #saudades #book #macdowellcolony #queerartist #queer #poetry #writer #gay #fineart #brooklyn #magazinecover #editorial #collaboration (at San Francisco, California)

Out now, an interview about making work in places far away from home. The fantastic writer @greg_from_a_leg whom I met @macdowellcolony earlier this year spoke with me on the occasion of my work from #OlympicFavela being selected for the cover of @foglifterjournal ‘s current issue : “ I’ve befriended a circle of filmmakers and creative people in Brazil through working on Olympic Favela. All of them have been super supportive. They said, “None of us could have done what you did because we couldn’t have gone in with a clean slate and a balanced perspective because of how we’re raised to look at these people and these communities.” For as much as being an outsider limits your access in some fashion, it also gives you a perspective that people who are raised closer to the subject matter may not have. One of my friends said to me, “You make us look at people we do not look at.” Thank you, Greg! 💕 #marcleclef #foglifterjournal #publication #fineartphotography #coverart . . . . . . . . . . . . #portrait #riodejaneiro #cidadeolimpica #contemporaryphotography #curator #literarymagazine #foglifter #published #interview #art #artistlife #mariellefranco #brazil #brasil #saudades #book #macdowellcolony (at Fort Greene, Brooklyn)

Faltando meus #amigos no Rio .... Tonight I presented my Olympic Favela short film to a group of wonderful, smart and sensitive fellow artists in the beautiful library at #macdowellcolony . I hadn't seen the film since it's last screening at @festivaldorio amd wasn't quite prepared for how many intense emotions I still harbor for the people I worked with in Rio, a connection that will likely never go. While I felt funny being emotional during the Q&A after the #screening , it also made me think that this set the bar for how intensely I should feel for whatever stories I tackle next. ❤️🌛#artistlife #olympicfavela #saudades . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #nightsky #milkyway #memory #filme #resistência #vilaautodromo #community #remoções #documentaryphotography #riodejaneiro #filmisnotdead #filmphotography #bw #cidadeolímpica #artcollector #olympicgames #contemporaryart #filmmaker #fineartphotography #marcleclef #curator #brazil (at Macdowell Colony, New Hampshire)

Bittersweet moment as I embark on a new project .... after weeks of organizing lots of papers with my intern @beccariane the #OlympicFavela archive is now complete with 5 bound volumes of research materials, interview transcripts and image catalogues ... Yes I love paper and stuff you can hold and feel! 📓 #fullcircle #boundinnewyork #craft #books #artist #archive - #marcleclef #research #artiststudio #brooklyn #nyc #photography #film

Yesterday I presented at the SPE NorthEast conference in Nyc! A wonderful opportunity to speak about my Olympic Favela project, present research material, share my experiences making it, and of course show photograph as and an excerpt of my film. Ant that space! ����📽📸 - #speconference #penumbrafoundation #nyc #speaker #presenter #artist #photography #filmisnotdead #filmmaker #olympicfavela #book #film
