Selva de pedra (concrete jungle) is São Paulo. Selva de pedra is my journey through the lights and lights and contrasts of this city, where I moved six years ago. It tells the stories of those who live on the margins of São Paulo, the financial capital of Brazil, a megalopolis in whose metropolitan area metropolitan area of more than twenty million people. I explored corners of the city I explored corners of the city far from the tourist routes; I met large families crammed into shacks in the I’ve followed commuters from one side of the city to the other; I’ve found urban natives fighting for a fist. fight for a fistful of land; I met the inhabitants of a neighborhood where crack cocaine is consumed and sold. I met the inhabitants of a neighborhood where crack is consumed and sold; I saw sweaty bodies being consumed during the carnival. Selva de pedra is a very personal and real reading of the city of São Paulo and Brazil today.
