It Looked, and I Looked Back
In his new book “It Looked, and I Looked Back”, Marcos Chaves invites us on a visually witty and intellectually stimulating journey through his world, captured with both whimsy and profundity. Published by KMEC Books and printed in Italy by Faenza Group SpA, the book is an adventure that seeks to extract the invisible from the visible. The pages feature unique images – from Rio de Janeiro to Kathmandu to New York City – and pairings of photographs that dialogue with each other, unveiling the humor and irony nestled within the everyday. Chaves’s discerning eye transforms the mundane into moments of revelation, making the book not just a collection of images but a commentary on the idiosyncrasies of life itself. This elegant volume stands as a testament to Chaves’ ability to merge the playful with the profound, offering readers both a visual feast and a philosophical reflection.
