Strategy: The critical nature of
Endangered, makes it imperative to begin immediately. The primary form of transportation
will be by an "all terrain" vehicle. Traveling with a native guide for much of the way,
Project Director, Paul Lima will explore every mile of coastline south of the fishing
village of Canoa Quebrada to the southern tip of Bahia. He will photograph the daily
life of the fishermen - their families, religious customs, dances, festivals and all
that comprise the disappearing way of life. Mr. Lima will record the last remaining
ancient fishing vessels, tools, and traditions that survive in the isolated fishing
communities along 2,050 km of coastline. He will live and work in the communities
where the effect of development is small or nonexistant and in those where it already
exists. This will give him the opportunity to record the ancient log raft and its
modern replacement, the plank raft, as well as the large-scale fishing vessels with
their motorized fishing boats. Mr. Lima, will record the artisan craft of jangada
building as well as the making of hair ropes, anchors, sails, the crafts what are
now almost extinct.
On
his arrival Mr. Lima will pick film donated by FUJIFILM,
at their head quarters in Sao Paulo. Exposed film will be sent promptly to Fuji for
processing. Fresh film will be delivered, by Fuji, at pre-arranged locations. By following
this procedure the highly sensitive film is processed quickly, guaranteeing its quality in
the tropical heat.
Results from ENDANGERED will immediately be made public through the following preestablished
publications and organizations. In New York City - The United Nations, The Roger Smith Gallery,
The Amonaka'a Gallery and The Brazilian Times. In Brazil, FUJIFILM's Corporate Gallery
and Opovo. In Rome, Aqua Geagraphia.Portuguese |
