São Paulo, Brazil’s vibrant financial center, is among the world's most populous cities, with numerous cultural institutions and a rich architectural tradition. Its iconic buildings range from its neo-Gothic cathedral and the 1929 Martinelli skyscraper to modernist architect Oscar Niemeyer’s curvy Edifício Copan. The colonial-style Pátio do Colégio church marks where Jesuit priests founded the city in 1554.
Belém, capital of the state of Pará, is a port city and gateway to Brazil’s lower Amazon region. By Guajará Bay, the riverfront district Cidade Velha (old town) preserves Portuguese-colonial architecture, including churches, colorful azulejo-tile houses and a 17th-century fortification known as Forte do Presépio. Ver-o-Peso is a vast, open-air market on the water selling Amazonian fish, fruit and handicrafts.
Salvador, the capital of Brazil’s northeastern state of Bahia, is known for its Portuguese colonial architecture, Afro-Brazilian culture and a tropical coastline. The Pelourinho neighborhood is its historic heart, with cobblestone alleys opening onto large squares, colorful buildings and baroque churches such as São Francisco, featuring gilt woodwork.

Fios de Alta Tensão (2018)
High Tension Line is about society and culture, about Brazilian identity and historical contradictions. We look at people's hair to approach these issues. What does the hair say about a person? A lot. With that in mind we've been to Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, Salvador and Belém to hear women and men of all ages, representing Brazilian ethnic and social diversity, finding unexpected affinities and understanding both the individual and the group identity related to the hair. More than 40 characters to whom the hair is a fundamental trace of personality, helping them to send the world a message. In many cases the hair is a way to state an opinion: Black women and men in their fight against prejudice, teenagers gaining autonomy, white haired people, bald people, all of them adopting their hairstyle to face aesthetic dogmas established by mass media. The four cities, each one in a different part of the country, take us from the Amazon Forest to the seashore, from the poor outskirt's favelas to the busy financial center of the country, from the majority of black people in Salvador to the indigenous background of Belém and to the ethnic miscellaneous of Sao Paulo and Rio.
