Founded in 2008 by photojournalists Leo Caobelli, Paulo Fehlauer and Rodrigo Marcondes, Coletivo Garapa is a multimedia collective that produces content across different platforms - from the printed image to documentaries, books and site-specific video installations. After leaving the newsroom they united efforts and founded a production company that creates both commissioned and self-initiated projects, often dealing with the challenge of telling stories from multiple sources. This research has become increasingly complex and has generated works on the border of reportage, documentary and fiction, with narrative threads constructed from collages of historical documents and testimonials shown alongside the collective's original photographs. Coletivo Garapa's works push the boundaries of direct, objective photojournalism mixing factual and emotional, real and imaginary, past and present — they even started creating fictional narrators to tell some of their stories.
