In 2014 Cristina de Middel became involved with the photographic archive of the newsmagazine Alerta and began to work with the idea of exploring the different languages of violence and the role played by photography in this entire area. She made drawings of 200 different photographs and added dialogue to them, as if they were comic strips. The dialogues have been composed out of the lyrics of Mexican ranchera songs, which in the name of love and passion celebrate actions and reactions of a rather untender nature. The three elements have combined to create a book that invites us to reexamine the content we are exposed to and to identify the violence concealed beneath ac-cepted codes. This is a sort of reflection that is needed, especially in Mexican society, so that the limits of the acceptable can be analyzed objectively and their real impact understood.

Cristina de Middel : Sharkification
75,00€Exemplaire Signé / Signed Copy.
1ère édition tirée à 1500 exemplaires / 1st edition of 1500 copies.
Sharkification parle des « favelas » et de la stratégie du gouvernement brésilien pour tenter de les contrôler pendant la Coupe du monde de football en impliquant des unités armées. Cela a créé une militarisation des communautés, où soudainement tout le monde devient suspect. La métaphore du requin vise à expliquer la dynamique en place. « J’ai utilisé la comparaison avec un monde sous-marin pour imaginer que les favelas sont un récif corallien où il y a des prédateurs… » Alors que la plupart des photojournalistes essaient de jouer avec les sentiments, Cristina de Middel utilise l’humour, qui semble être une façon plus intelligente de regarder les choses et qui aide les gens à devenir plus curieux.
Sharkification is about the “favelas” and the Brazilian government’s strategy to attempt to control them during the soccer World Cup by involving armed units. It created a militarisation of the communities, where suddenly everybody becomes a suspect. The shark metaphor aims to explain the dynamics into place. “I used the comparison with a submarine world to imagine that the favelas are a coral reef where there are predators…” When most of the photojournalists keep trying to play with feelings, Cristina de Middel uses humour, which seems to be a more intelligent way to look at things and that helps people becoming more curious.
