Flávia Junqueira

Brazilian artist Flávia Junquiera’s poetic photographs are carefully staged and produced odes to monumental architecture and the ephermeral essence of childhood. Junquiera creates site specific installations that are dreamlike, and playful; Grand theaters are filled with balloons, a lone carousel horse sans rider intrudes upon an ornate library, balloons and bubbles litter and float above the Parque Lage in Rio de Jenerio. There is a sense of joy as Junqueria pays homage to the imagined universe that dwells in childhood. Each photograph works as a memory of an installation, they capture the brightness and lightness of the unexpected.
