"Tate Photography: Claudia Andujar" is a collection of works by Swiss-born Brazilian photographer Claudia Andujar (1931-). Having experienced World War II and the Holocaust in her childhood, Andujar emigrated to Brazil in the 1950s. Since the 1960s, she has cultivated a long-term relationship with the Yanomami, an indigenous people of the Amazon, and has continued to photograph their lives, spiritual culture, and sense of community. Amidst the worsening violence against indigenous peoples due to development, deforestation, and gold mining under the Brazilian military regime, she used photography not merely as documentation but as a social practice, and became deeply involved in the rights protection movement. This book is a compact collection published as part of the Tate Photography series, and is mainly composed of representative works using infrared film, long exposure, and color manipulation. It is a book that provides an overview of Andujar's work, where documentary and experimental expression, ethnographic perspective and contemporary art sensibilities intersect, while also connecting it with contemporary perspectives on the environment and decolonization.
