Quem sou eu
- Lita Cerqueira
- Lita Cerqueira's photographs are well a result of sensitivity of a gaze wrought in the anguish and acuteness of a people repressed, but proud and patient, with the magical dimensions of this civilization that is in progress, a fourth dimension in the life of inspired nations such as Brazil. I am well acquainted with this confluence between desire of a tropical artist and the unpredictability of our wilful gods. I am an artist, just as Lita is, also black and also from Bahia, and I know that her photographs are a miracle of a gaunt attentive eye tended by the inattentive eye of gods in a trance." Gilberto Gil
