S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Brazilian photographer Dani Sandrini<\/a> is finishing the arrangements for her exhibition \u201cTerra Terreno Territ\u00f3rio<\/a>,\u201d which pictures native people in the city of S\u00e3o Paulo, but also works on putting together pictures she took in Jordan, which she intends to make into a photo exhibition next year. Dani Sandrini lives in S\u00e3o Paulo, but since the 2000s, when she spent a season in Aman, where she would live years later, her history with photography is like this: between Brazil and Jordan.<\/p>\n

She got a degree in Communication but built a career mixing photography, arts and education \u2013 and most recently psychanalysis. Her early years as a photographer were dedicated to theater and cinema, whether it was taking pictures of plays or creating sets, taking care of art and photograph direction. Educational projects came soon after, most of them developed with social organizations, where she used photograph to work on topics such as citizenship, belonging and others.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never worked in one thing only,\u201d she told ANBA, saying she has also taken commercial pictures for corporate events, weddings, studios and magazines. In parallel, she developed her personal projects, which are the pictures for exhibitions within her interests. One of her first projects, showed what is beautiful in Glic\u00e9rio, a neighborhood in downtown S\u00e3o Paulo famous for its problems.<\/p>\n

Her ties with Jordan started in 2000, when Dani Sandrini decided to backpack around the Middle East. Her first destination was Israel, then Egypt and Jordan, where she stood for a while. \u201cI felt a deep connection with Jordan,\u201d she says. She spent a year and a half coming and going from Europe to Jordan, until she married a Jordanian man and came back to Brazil. \u201cBut we often visited Jordan,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

In 2010, the couple moved to Aman, where she started establishing her local career. Dani worked for an architecture and decoration magazine, took family pictures, made photo books, and taught photograph classes. She became a widow and came back to Brazil in 2012. The Image Festival in Aman made her go back, and her photograph work won the first prize in 2015. The theme was \u201cTogether,\u201d and Dani took pictures of a Brazilian woman alone in the train, supposedly waiting for someone, saying goodbye our going to meet someone.<\/p>\n

The selection for the festival also provided for the development of a work in Jordan and she created \u201cFragments of a comeback.\u201d She photographed places related to her affective memory in the country and, after revealing the photos, she hanged them on walls around Aman. After a while, she took pictures of the hanged photos, with the interferences they had gone through. The exhibition in the festival featured pictures of Dani\u2019s photos with sand, spilled coffee, tears and other interventions. Later, the pictures were exhibited twice in Brazil.<\/p>\n

In her trip to Jordan in 2015, the photographer put together another project, which she expects to make into an exhibition next year. Dani Sandrini called it \u201cSouvenir Po\u00e9tico\u201d (Poetic Souvenir) since she took 37 requests from acquaintances in Brazil about what they\u2019d like to learn about Jordan. If they were curious about the families, she photographed them; if it were about the lights, she photographed them too; if it were about the writings, she photographed them. Streets and souks? She photographed. This material is now being organized to become an exhibition, perhaps in S\u00e3o Paulo, in 2020.<\/p>\n

The show on Jordan will probably become her priority as soon as she opens the exhibition \u201cTerra Terreno Territ\u00f3rio,\u201d which brings images of the Guarani settlements remaining in the South and West Zones of S\u00e3o Paulo. The exhibition will open on October 5 at Mario de Andrade Library in S\u00e3o Paulo. The photos were printed in papers touched by the pigment extracted from the jenipapo, which native peoples use in their body paintings, and plants. The show runs until December 13.<\/p>\n

Over the last six years, Dani Sandrini devotes herself mainly to her personal projects, although she still takes commercial pictures and teaches classes. She also added a degree in psychanalysis to her career. She gives therapeutic treatment to patients. Occasionally Dani uses photograph as a resource for her job as a psychanalyst. \u201cIn psychanalysis, we talk often about the unsaid. We talk without saying things. The same happens in photography. Besides the obvious stuff a picture shows, it also talks about something that is not explicit but is there somehow,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

Dani Sandrini still doesn\u2019t know when she\u2019ll return to Jordan, which she feels a special connection to. \u201cBut every time I think about going overseas, I think, I\u2019ll pass by Jordan,\u201d she said. The 2020 exhibition on the Arab country, \u201cSouvenir Po\u00e9tico,\u201d still has no defined date or sponsorship.<\/p>\n
