Fonte dos amores (From the series Poços de Caldas 1960-2015)

2015

A haunting archival photograph from Poços de Caldas is recontextualized through Rosângela Rennó's signature exploration of memory, identity, and the passage of time. The work draws from the visual culture of a Brazilian resort city across five decades, examining how collective and personal histories are preserved, distorted, and ultimately transformed through the photographic image. Rennó's intervention invites reflection on nostalgia, place, and the fragile relationship between documentation and truth.
