In his artistic investigations, Caio Reisewitz uses photography as his primary medium. Through technical refinement, his compositions reveal a particular interest in human action and its social and political effects, whether in natural or architectural spaces. His poetics build a repertoire that can place us face to face with human neglect as readily as with the visual poetry of these environments.
"Tuyayah" (2025) presents a group of images arranged in a chaotic yet cathartic collage, through which the artist gives expression to insurgent feelings. The image of the forest predominates over smaller cut-out images of motifs like Brazil’s national capital (Brasília), a mining barge, and an endangered Amazonian flower. Tuyayah is a further development in Caio Reisewitz’s research. Although its title sounds like an Indigenous toponym, it is in fact a neologism evoking landscape and territory. For the artist, this word suggests the idea of a “soup of the forest spirits’ dreams” while also, paradoxically, alluding to a Brazilian resort currently making headlines as the target of an investigation into an infamous scandal.
