Artist Raquel Brust, creator of Giganto project, used a smartphone Xiaomi Mi 10T to produce hyper-sized images of women for an exhibition in downtown São Paulo. There are four gigantic portraits of entrepreneurs who used technology to transform the environment in which they live. The inauguration of the work will take place soon.

Raquel, who graduated in journalism from PUC-RS, came up with the idea for the Giganto project, which consists of using architecture as a mural for collages of hyper-sized photographs. The portraits are designed in conjunction with the environments in which the people live, and the idea behind the giant faces is to show their details and imperfections. On the website, the project is described as “a warning that there is complexity in each unit, that there is a family in each window, that each person is unique and deserves attention.”

Four portraits were created for this edition of Giganto: Maitê Schneider, a trans woman and founder of TransEmpregos; the young entrepreneur Flavia Rodrigues; the indigenous rapper Katu Mirim; and Dr. Larissa Cassiano, a gynecologist specializing in humanized care. The characters were chosen based on the relationship between their life stories and advocacy for social well-being.

The artist, who until then used large format cameras, was challenged by Xiaomi to produce photographs of women for the new exhibition of the Giganto project in SP with the I 10T Pro. The photographer also praised the smartphone's manual focus for video and photos, which produce a wide depth of field.

The smartphone, which arrived in Brazil at the end of last year, has a set of three cameras on the back – the main one, with 108 MP, uses a quad-pixel sensor that produces RAW photos with resolutions of up to 27 MP. In addition, the other two cameras include a 13 MP wide-angle and a 5 MP macro. On the front, the Mi 10T Pro has a 20 MP camera and works with the Snapdragon 865 5G.
