Previously based in New York, João Lutz @____lutz is a photographer and director working in São Paulo. His work moves through portraiture, fashion, and film—drawn to charged atmospheres and the weight a single frame can hold. Pomegranates is a visual and written response to the resurfacing of a childhood memory of sexual abuse—an experience long buried. The project began shortly after the memory returned and unfolded in real time through photography, poetry, and moments of stillness. The book does not follow a linear narrative. Instead, it moves like memory: fragmented, uncertain, and intimate. It is a work about remembering, about naming what was hidden, and about what it means to continue forward while holding both silence and truth. João Lutz was selected as one of the @booooooom 2025 Art & Photo Book Award Winners! With support from @bookmobile_printing , we helped João turn his project into a book! If you want the opportunity to publish a book of your own work for free, you can apply for our 2026 Art & Photo Book Awards (🔗 in bio). See more from Pomegranates as well as our full interview with João below!
