Surfing the Cosmos is an original book of photographs and text that
visually explores the high/low of energy in the slums of Rio de
Janeiro as compared with the high-tech physics of CERN, where
discovering the origins of the universe and the elementary
particles from which it is made are examined. Within this visual
story are the unplanned beautiful drawings that humans make in
space with electrical wires, whether from the favela or CERN. These
"drawings" inspired a series of artworks/photographs that are
pictured in this book, often along with their photographic source
or the spirit of the community from which they are derived (either
favela or CERN). The human energy of the favela is also mirrored in
CERN with one specific comparison of the graffiti from Rio and the
chalkboards of CERN, both viewed as works of art and sources that
motivated the author's response as demonstrated in his previous
works through examples including paintings, fashion scarves,
handmade rugs from Nepal, bamboo cotton face masks along with
surfboards (chalkboards) and skatedecks.
