Felipe Russo, an atypical photographer, is a biologist who worked as a researcher in the 2000s. As a research assistant at USP's Biology Institute, he produced photographic documents, in addition to separating and cataloging materials collected during field trips. In these activities he acquired habits that were rooted in his sensitivity: patiently observing phenomena invisible to unprepared eyes, classifying a species based on the similarities between different specimens, understanding an ecosystem as a universe where biotic and abiotic environments interact. In its aesthetic construction we see the indelible marks of the scientific training that the photographer had in his youth. Instead of the virtuosity of using the resources of his art - framing, lighting, etc. - we see a serene search for the extraordinary and the strange in the reiteration of the almost identical.
