For example, the series of black and white photographs from the article “A verdade andava nua” [Truth Went about in the Nude], originally published in the magazine O Cruzeiro, December 1949 issue. The images presented, document a group of middle-class youth from Rio de Janeiro, who decided to go to the beach in gala and winter clothing, as to protest against the hygiene & moral law that in that time prohibited them to wear their swimming clothes in other parts of the city that were not strictly the beach. Their action subverted the norm by exaggerating the absurdity of the law. - I.G.
