ANOMIA 

On going project: 2017 - 2024

The philosopher Emile Durkheim, in his study on suicide, rescues from ancient Greek the non-name, the unnamed – a / nomos.
 

Anomia arises when rules of conduct established as rules by society to achieve societal goals lose credibility, occur when individuals feel incited to violate norms, is “a condition in which both social effectiveness and cultural morality of norms tend to to zero”.
 

In the viscera of the Brazilian inequality, in the difficulty of remembering our history, of our origins, it begets the feeling of “what should not be named.”

In this personal essay, the photographer seeks to capture, through scenes of daily violence and the struggle for survival, something that can convey this concept.
