This series is an overview of a landscape and its characters, images of everyday winter life on a beach in southern Brazil. It is divided into three parts: almost there, a peculiar landscape and guaipecas and marisqueiros. Almost there is an approach to a goal. It is an investigation into the edge of the edge, the definitive interface between the city and the waterfront. It also evokes the arrival at the beach after the long and difficult journey made at first by herders and other travelers like Debret and Saint-Hilaire, and more recently by vacationers who were looking for seaside resorts to spend their holidays. A peculiar landscape is about the fringe from the city to the edge, crossing the edge of the edge, and looking ahead is the original landscape made up of its few elements: water, sand and sky and time. A permanent landscape, but made of impermanence. From the landscape to its characters. Guaipecas y marisqueiros, is a series that collects small daily events of this landscape with its elements and inhabitants. Guaipecas, in the regional lexicon, is a mestizo, a dog without a breed. And marisqueiro - a shellfish collector is not only one who collects or fishes shellfish, but also what the natives and residents of the coast of Rio Grande do Sul are called. The entire series is a look at what is not what you are going to see when you go to the beach: a reflection on the passage of time in a peculiar environment, a permanent landscape made of impermanent elements.
