YVYMBYTE - Documentário Indígena

Yvymbyte is a documentary about the village Piraí, located in Araquari (BR). The project was awarded the Catarinense Prize of Popular Cultures, and was produced by members of the village together with a team of journalists and audiovisual producers who accompanied the filming and making workshops.

To portray life in the village, I sought to bring together the elements that make up the local fauna and flora in a way that would form a visual ecosystem. The maté herb was brought as a prominent element, just as it is valued within the village. From the fruit of the mate, it is possible to remove a natural red dye, based on this idea, the red color was applied on the tips of the foliage and also on the fingers. Red represents human contact with nature and reinforces the color of blood running through our veins and makes us all the same.
