Description
This publication, edited on the occasion of the exhibition at the MALBA of the Swiss photographer who became a naturalized Brazilian after fleeing Nazi persecution, reproduces the most compelling collection of her work on the Yanomami: the *Marcados* series, a set of photographs taken during a vaccination campaign launched in the early 1980s to protect that community from epidemics caused by contact with white men.
In Andujar's gaze, these portraits become a plea for life. In her own words: "It is an ambiguous feeling that leads me, sixty years later, to transform the mere documentation of the Yanomami as 'people'—marked to live—into a work that questions the method of labeling human beings for any purpose. Today, I see this objective effort to order and identify a population at risk of extinction as work at the frontier of conceptual art."
