Please provide any cultural context that would help the Jury understand any cultural, national or regional nuances applicable to this work.

The Leica M11 is a very premium camera and not meant for every photographer. This was the launch of the latest M11, the most modern version of the iconic Leica M, a legendary camera deeply connected with the history of craft and photography itself. The number of M11 destined to the Brazilian market is limited, so the event was created to foster the admiration of local photographers for the brand Leica as well as a pre-ordering event where all M11 cameras available were sold out.

Background

To introduce thew new Leica M11 to the Brazilian market and start pre orders of the new camera, we created an exhibition that showcased the power of the new Leica M11 60MP sensor. Using one single photo, we cropped the image into 32 individual unretouched images.

The exhibition was held at the Wickbold gallery and was also made into give away prints and a book.

During the event, all 40 M11 available for pre-order were sold.
