Occupy Sao Paulo

As one of the world's mega cities, reaching a population of twenty million, São Paulo perpetuates a tremendous urban stress to its residents, especially in terms of habitat. Carlos Cazalis's series shows the homeless sleepers in the streets, the illegal occupations of land in the outskirts and of buildings downtown São Paulo, as well as the gated communities outside the city.

Carlos Cazalis's work has been exhibited widely in Latin America and Europe, and his images have appeared in Le Monde, L'Espresso, the New York Times, National Geographic, and the Guardian. He has won a World Press Photo Award with this series.
