Se essa rua fosse minha (If this street were mine) is a project based on Michel Proust's quote: “The only true voyage, the only bath in the Fountain of Youth, would be not to visit strange lands but to possess other eyes".
The project brings images shot in film made at the place of birth of photographer Raphael Alves (Emílio Moreira Street, in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil). It was made during one of his classes for the Master of Arts in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at London College of Communication / University of the Arts London.
All the images were shot in colour film, and the video was made in different borrowed digital cameras (point-and shoot and DSLR).
