Interactive exhibition held at Sesc Parque D.Pedro II in the year 2018 where visitors could have a portrait done in a studio set up at Sesc. Over 5 days of interactive exhibition, 220 portraits were made.

Regarding Paulo Fridman's Talking images:

In 1999, Paulo Fridman wandered through Vila Madalena, Avenida Paulista, Praça da República, Galeria do Rock, Largo da Batata, and many other locations in São Paulo, armed with a camera, portable studio, paper, pen, and a few questions:

Who are you? What is your dream? And the future of Brazil?

His target: ordinary people on the streets of the largest Brazilian city, also the largest socio-cultural diversity in Latin America. Each person approached wrote or drew their answer to one of the three questions on paper. Then they were photographed.

Back in the studio, Paulo Fridman subjected the photo and text, or drawing, to a digital fusion process, which at the time was much more complicated than it is today. Thus, the series "Portraits of Brazil" was born, on the website of the same name, whose purpose was to give people the opportunity to be photographed and to photograph themselves.

Time passed, the project gained shape and meaning. One day, Paulo realized that by bringing to light the thoughts, conflicts, ideas, and dreams of hitherto anonymous people, they, without exception, were practically speaking in each portrait, their portraits became speaking. Thus was born the name "Talking Portraits".
