    About the Book

    Edit

    "Cracolândia" is a part of downtown São Paulo, the biggest city in Latin America. A place where drug use and sale runs rampant under the cover of the night. Under the rule of drug lords and their customers, the nickname was given as crack cocaine is the cheapest drug around. Hundreds of people of all ages and social classe go there to buy and to consume the drug on the streets. The majority of the addicts are part of São Paulo's homeless population who find on the cheap drug an escape from hard reality of the metropolis. Brazil today is the world's largest consumer of both pure and crack cocaine according to the federal University of São Paulo. About 6 million adults, or 3 percent of Brazilians, have tried cocaine in some form. Showing the real power of crack's degradation was my main target when I immersed myself in this universe. My work has scenes of a day-to-day that has not changed since I began my project in 2007. "Cracolândia" still maintains it's dangerous, and sometimes deadly ways.
