Cia de Foto's video and photography montage was banned by the council at Derby's Format Festival last weekend but shown at the Photographer's Gallery on wednesday.
Members of the San Paulo based photo bureau live together and work in such a way that the singular author is rejected in favor of the collective.
All images are credited to Cia de Foto regardless of who actually took a picture. Pio Figueiroa described how the photographers work in a collaborative way that makes it 'impossible for us to know who to credit individually.'
Post production (significantly in this group - a female domain) is regarded as important as taking the pictures.
