Sacracidade (Sacred city)

Downtown São Paulo is one of the most diverse places in the city, also from a religious point of view. To produce the book 'Sacracidade', I visited dozens of temples in the central region, where I met exorcist priests, Messianic Jews, African Muslims and a transgender pastor, as well as Buddhist temples, spiritualist centers and afrobrazilian terreiros. The result is a cartography of the divine in the heart of the largest city in the country. Click on the photo to enlarge.
