06 - Witches - “A Chochina”
Charcoal on paper
“Cochina” was the nickname of Maria Fernandes, accused by João Camelo of having harmed his mother for about 20 years. This drawing is an homage to this beggar, suspected witch.
These drawings were photographed and documented step by step, as if it were an animated story. About 9800 photographs of work progress were collected. Layer after layer, each narrative gains body and crystallizes in the last frame.
