Since 2004 I have visited several construction sites in São Paulo. When I arrive, I ask the workers for permission to photograph their "marmitas" (packed lunches). Even though they are hungry, most patiently give me their permission. It is lunchtime and, as is the custom in Brazil, each worker has left home very early carrying his marmita. Gastronomy for a hard day's work.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
