# Clicks of the Week *no. 43 | 2026: This edition features a global roundup of certified media and authentic content from our Clickstars in Brazil, Spain, Germany and Poland.* By [Nodle Network](https://paragraph.com/@nodle) · 2026-10-25 trust network, nodle network, clicks of the week, click camera, creator economy, depin, photography, authenticity --- Hello fellow Clickstars! This week's Clicks cross four countries through five scenes that move from crowds to quiet corners and back again. On Avenida Paulista, São Paulo turns yellow and green as a presidential campaign borrows the rhythm of Carnival. After the rain in Lleida, a European mantis hunts across wet paving stones. In Berlin, Wolfgang Mattheuer's bronze self-portrait lifts a sheep's mask at the very moment of speaking out. On the lagoon coast of Laguna, boats rest beneath wooden shelters where fishers and dolphins have worked side by side for generations. Finally, on a concrete wall in Bytom, a mechanical skull stares out from the shadows of living branches, in a city whose oldest legends come from the silver mines below. Our journey begins on Monday with [**EDUARDOMORENONETO**](https://clickapp.com/zk/account/eduardomorenoneto), who opens the week in the middle of one of Brazil's biggest political gatherings. [**CAFECONENKE**](https://clickapp.com/zk/account/cafeconenke) carries us into Tuesday by looking down at a tiny predator most people would walk past, before [**SPACESMUTJE**](https://clickapp.com/zk/account/spacesmutje) reaches the middle of the week with a monument to courage and civic memory. On Thursday, [**KOINOFICIAL**](https://clickapp.com/zk/account/koinoficial) leads us to a working shoreline in southern Brazil, and [**TORROCUS**](https://clickapp.com/zk/account/torrocus) closes the week in Upper Silesia, where street art and mining folklore share the same walls.

[EDUARDOMORENONETO](https://clickapp.com/zk/account/eduardomorenoneto) made this Click on Avenida Paulista on 18 October 2026, during the "Bloquinho 22" rally for Flávio Bolsonaro, then the Liberal Party's presidential candidate, in the final week before Brazil's 25 October runoff. Researchers from the Monitor do Debate Político at USP/Cebrap and More in Common estimated 71,900 people at the rally's peak, within a range of 63,300 to 80,500. The name was a deliberate play on words. "22" is the candidate's ballot number, while a bloquinho is a small bloco, the roving, music-led street party that fills Brazilian cities during Carnival. That explains the mood captured here: jerseys and flags in the national colours, a campaign banner rising above the crowd, a sound stage in the distance and red beer umbrellas sheltering vendors from the midday sun. Speeches mixed with campaign jingles, funk and axé, turning a political rally into something that looked and sounded like a street festival. The setting is unmistakable. Glass office towers, older residential blocks with balcony gardens and a broad strip of sky frame the avenue, while a concrete overhang shades the left side of the frame. Avenida Paulista opened in 1891 as a grand boulevard for São Paulo's coffee barons, whose mansions once lined its ridge. Over the 20th century those villas gave way to banks, offices and cultural landmarks such as MASP, whose famous open span beneath the museum has become one of the city's favourite meeting points. Paulista has long been São Paulo's largest open-air forum. It hosts Pride, labour marches, New Year's Eve, World Cup celebrations and demonstrations from across the political spectrum, and on Sundays it closes to cars so families, cyclists and street musicians can claim the asphalt. In October 2026 that role became especially visible: on 11 October, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva held his own campaign mobilisation on the same avenue, and a week later these blocks filled again in the opposite political colours. There is also an everyday São Paulo story inside this crowd. Big days on Paulista are carried by the informal economy - people selling water, flags, shirts, snacks and rain protection - and by families who come to take part, to watch or simply to be there when history unfolds in public. Fittingly, the quote comes from José Bonifácio, remembered as the "Patriarch of Independence", whose ideas still echo whenever Brazilians gather to argue about their country's future. * * * Tuesday, October 20, 2026 ------------------------- **Where**: Lleida, **Spain** **Feed**: Animals ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/6249ad898c49a7c07e783626ebbe831e55056ca1f2dac1a6016fa3859c6fd059.jpg) "The humblest creature is the centre of a world." - Jules Michelet ![](https://paragraph.com/editor/callout/information-icon.png) **Certified Media** [ Genuine moments, verified in one Click! --------------------------------------- Capture the world and sign your photos or videos in a digital trust network https://clickapp.com ![Genuine moments, verified in one Click!](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/21b20525011a7a37c93c934549baf5e47e5e35aea1b2402ab2038900ebb03065.png) ](https://clickapp.com/zk/cid/QmRPN8KcsX94h7LtgFuXbvCKhYven6FpKXMwRADWmSvkoE) ![](https://paragraph.com/editor/callout/information-icon.png) **Social Links** X: [**https://x.com/clickdeepreals/status/2112608006420509043**](https://x.com/clickdeepreals/status/2112608006420509043) Instagram: [**https://www.instagram.com/p/DeuccBRju3N**](https://www.instagram.com/p/DeuccBRju3N) * * * From Monday's crowd of tens of thousands, [CAFECONENKE](https://clickapp.com/zk/account/cafeconenke) takes us to a crowd of one. After the rain in Lleida, a slender green hunter steps across dark, grooved paving bricks, raindrops still beaded on its wings. This Click appears to show a European mantis (Mantis religiosa), recognisable by its triangular head, long folded wings and powerful spined forelegs. The species owes its name to its resting pose, with the front legs folded like hands in prayer. Catalan speakers call it pregadéu, "pray-to-God", and in Spanish it is often known as santateresa, after Saint Teresa of Ávila. The piety is pure appearance: those forelegs are raptorial tools lined with spines, built to snap shut on other insects in a fraction of a second. Mantises are also among the few insects that can turn their heads to look over their shoulders, which is exactly what this one seems to be doing as it eyes the camera. The wet pavement is part of the story. On 19 October 2026, Catalonia was emerging from a severe rain episode linked to DANA Adam, and parts of Lleida province recorded especially heavy rainfall. The glistening bricks make the mantis look like a small traveller caught out by the weather passing through the region. October is the hinge between Lleida's hot, dry summers and its cooler, wetter autumn, and for a mantis it marks the final chapter of adult life. Before winter, females lay a foamy egg case called an ootheca, which hardens around the eggs and protects them until spring, when the next generation hatches. A late-season adult like this one therefore carries both an ending and a beginning. Lleida itself is a city of plains and orchards. Its old cathedral, the Seu Vella, watches over the Segre river from the hill that once held Roman Ilerda, while the fruit trees of the surrounding Segrià plain, together with parks and field edges, offer just the kind of insect-rich habitat where mantises thrive. After a downpour, even a city pavement can become an accidental stage for that hidden ecosystem. * * * Wednesday, October 21, 2026 --------------------------- **Where**: Berlin, **Germany** **Feed**: Monuments ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/323f119c80ef2da0084ba13b95615d9177cf6d0f0042bf8985c8ae757ffdf749.jpg) "Whoever wants to fight must first learn to see." - Christa Wolf ![](https://paragraph.com/editor/callout/information-icon.png) **Certified Media** [ Genuine moments, verified in one Click! --------------------------------------- Capture the world and sign your photos or videos in a digital trust network https://clickapp.com ![Genuine moments, verified in one Click!](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/51d074c6955e58826803930b1b5173d02a9f928c4c43cb506ba8b426db41fdad.png) ](https://clickapp.com/zk/cid/QmZq1FrJicnniaRSrSQn2YdcSaVnFz6FDMnoTLLaAH9nSk) ![](https://paragraph.com/editor/callout/information-icon.png) **Social Links** X: [**https://x.com/clickdeepreals/status/2112973945204789577**](https://x.com/clickdeepreals/status/2112973945204789577) Instagram: [**https://www.instagram.com/p/DexC9mPjvrl**](https://www.instagram.com/p/DexC9mPjvrl) * * * At midweek, [SPACESMUTJE](https://clickapp.com/zk/account/spacesmutje) brings us face to face with a work about the courage it takes to show one's face. This Click captures Gesichtzeigen (Mann mit Maske), "Man with a Mask (Show Your Face)", by Wolfgang Mattheuer (1927-2004), one of the leading painters and sculptors of the Leipzig School. Created in 1981, the over-life-sized bronze stands 220 cm high and belongs to the collection of the Neue Nationalgalerie. Mattheuer portrayed himself holding a sheep's head over half his face. The sheep stands for naïveté or foolishness, qualities that can offer protection in hostile times, yet his half-hidden eye looks straight past the mask, and the pose suggests it is about to be lowered. The clenched right fist gives the moment its charge: an awakening of resistance rather than a gesture of surrender. The work was first titled Maskenmann ("Mask Man") and later renamed Gesichtzeigen in memory of Leipzig's Monday demonstrations of 1989-90. In German, Gesicht zeigen means both to show one's face and to take a public stand. The demonstrations began as gatherings after the Monday peace prayers at St Nicholas Church and grew in autumn 1989 into one of the defining civic movements of the Peaceful Revolution, pushing the GDR toward reform and helping bring down the Wall. The sculpture carries that East German memory personally. Mattheuer and his wife Ursula took part in the demonstrations, and the work reflects the evasions and enforced double lives that many GDR citizens knew well. The quote fits too: Christa Wolf, one of East Germany's best-known writers, spoke to the huge crowd on Alexanderplatz on 4 November 1989. This Click was made on 30 August 2026 in the outdoor sculpture garden of the Neue Nationalgalerie, the steel-and-glass temple Ludwig Mies van der Rohe completed in 1968 and which reopened in 2021 after a careful restoration by David Chipperfield Architects. The museum is part of the Kulturforum, built in West Berlin during the Cold War close to the border strip. Today it shows art shaped by German division inside a reunited city. Look behind the bronze and you will see the ivy on the granite wall already blushing orange and red at its tips, a first hint of autumn in late summer. It makes a quiet counterpoint to the figure, frozen forever between hiding and speaking out. * * * Thursday, October 22, 2026 -------------------------- **Where**: Laguna, Santa Catarina, **Brazil** **Feed**: General ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/4fa9ab72ea0b8e3abe38f64f6d8abe70bc4bd83a33fa593697c14e2a05c112bf.jpg) "The sea is not a place to work; the sea is a place to dream." - João Guimarães Rosa ![](https://paragraph.com/editor/callout/information-icon.png) **Certified Media** [ Genuine moments, verified in one Click! --------------------------------------- Capture the world and sign your photos or videos in a digital trust network https://clickapp.com ![Genuine moments, verified in one Click!](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/a3cd685a668004f12b2d8fbdc51a80af60f6441ba432748ca8831128ab34ead3.png) ](https://clickapp.com/zk/cid/QmPG9oMcZYc7KNph9A46VaYpBKkddEwjC9hyq7LDnbKF5U) ![](https://paragraph.com/editor/callout/information-icon.png) **Social Links** X: [**https://x.com/clickdeepreals/status/2113331731453596137**](https://x.com/clickdeepreals/status/2113331731453596137) Instagram: [**https://www.instagram.com/p/DezllaRjsBK**](https://www.instagram.com/p/DezllaRjsBK) * * * On Thursday, [KOINOFICIAL]( https://clickapp.com/zk/account/koinoficial) takes us back to Brazil, this time far from the crowds, to a working waterside in Laguna, Santa Catarina. The sun bursts over the frame and turns everything below into silhouette: corrugated roofs on timber posts, a tall slatted wooden gate, hauling gear for pulling boats ashore and two hulls resting in the shade, one proudly painted with the name of its home port, "Laguna SC". These open-sided sheds are ranchos, simple shelters where fishers store boats, nets and gear between trips. They are practical rather than picturesque: places where equipment is repaired, boats wait out the weather and the water sets the rhythm of the day. Across Santa Catarina, artisanal fishing is still passed from one generation to the next, together with the skills of mending nets, reading the water and waiting for the right moment. Laguna is one of southern Brazil's oldest towns, founded in 1676 at the tip of a peninsula that encloses the Santo Antônio, Imaruí and Mirim lagoon system. It once marked the southern edge of Portugal's claim under the Treaty of Tordesillas, and in 1839 it briefly became the capital of the short-lived Juliana Republic. Laguna is also the hometown of Anita Garibaldi, who met Giuseppe Garibaldi here and went on to fight alongside him in South America and Italy, earning the title "Heroine of Two Worlds". The town's most remarkable tradition, however, involves dolphins. For more than 140 years, net-casting fishers standing in the lagoon channel have waited for wild bottlenose dolphins to drive mullet toward the shore. A sudden deep dive is the signal to cast. A 2023 study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences confirmed what local families always knew: fishers who time their casts to the dolphins' cues catch far more fish, and the cooperating dolphins have a 13 per cent higher survival rate. Mullet, locally called tainha, is a powerful symbol along this coast. The traditional beach-seine method, arrasto de praia, has Indigenous roots and can bring whole communities together to haul a net ashore during the autumn and winter season. Azorean settlers, who arrived along this coast in the 18th century, added their own maritime customs, festivals and lace-making, and that heritage still flavours the region today. The boats, shelters and tidal shoreline make this Click a portrait of a coast lived from the water rather than merely viewed from it, a place where boats are tools, sheds are workshops and the sea is both livelihood and horizon. * * * Friday, October 23, 2026 ------------------------ **Where**: Bytom, **Poland** **Feed**: Street Art ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/0c0d670f905206d6ae977ff515ee49223aa5ced69e9bb6b3d2c2605ddf11d22d.jpg) “Reality is the shadow of the word.” — Bruno Schulz ![](https://paragraph.com/editor/callout/information-icon.png) **Certified Media** [ Genuine moments, verified in one Click! --------------------------------------- Capture the world and sign your photos or videos in a digital trust network https://clickapp.com ![Genuine moments, verified in one Click!](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/0485c009bc742b5f7ae3143baad43dbfd7812c3279f9672041a08b8a762cce08.png) ](https://clickapp.com/zk/cid/QmedKFNxWXL7H3gGgWaMBoR1iyRv85WUcy3Z2FHMLoYCQV) ![](https://paragraph.com/editor/callout/information-icon.png) **Social Links** X: [**https://x.com/clickdeepreals/status/2113668961707446404**](https://x.com/clickdeepreals/status/2113668961707446404) Instagram: [**https://www.instagram.com/p/De1-0qpjrTT**](https://www.instagram.com/p/De1-0qpjrTT) * * * A machine has an eye. What does it see? [TORROCUS]( https://clickapp.com/zk/account/torrocus) closes the week in Bytom, Upper Silesia, with a Click that brings metal, lettering and light together on a concrete wall. On the right, a chrome cyborg skull with a glowing red eye stares across the panels, its Terminator-like jaw rendered in fine metallic detail. To its left, sharp wildstyle letters in red and silver twist like flames, while a red tag hovers above. The artist and official title remain unknown, but the most striking detail comes from nature: the soft shadows of tree branches drifting across the painted steel, as if the wall were breathing. The setting fits the subject. Bytom's history is written in metal. Silver was mined here from the Middle Ages, and a papal bull of 1136 already mentions "argenti fossores", silver diggers, near the town. Later, coal, zinc and lead shaped the city's 19th and 20th century boom, leaving behind a landscape of shafts, slag heaps and industrial architecture. Long before science fiction imagined mechanical guardians, Bytom had its own underground spirit. Local legend tells of Szarlej, a demon of the silver mines described with red bulging eyes and a sulphurous breath. One tradition says the miners struck a pact with him in 1367, promising him a tenth of their yield, and when they broke their word he flooded the mines. Another version links the curse to townspeople who drowned two priests in a pond during a 14th century tithe dispute, a curse said to have been lifted only in 1711 by Pope Clement XI. Walenty Roździeński retold the story in his 1612 poem Officina ferraria, and Szarlej is often seen as the silver-mine cousin of Skarbnik, the better-known spirit of Silesia's coal mines. The painted figure is not meant to be Szarlej, but the pairing is irresistible: an old mining apparition and a futuristic one, both with red eyes watching from the dark. Bytom also has a lively tradition of turning infrastructure into open-air galleries. In 2020, the 400 ml Graffiti Festival brought more than 40 artists to the city, and works in the railway station passage drew on local legends. Those murals disappeared during railway reconstruction, and in 2025 Mona Tusz and collaborators began painting new ones showing local industry, trains, wildlife and buildings, proof that the city's walls keep carrying fresh layers of memory. There was a fitting coincidence on the day of this Click, 10 October 2026: Bytom's Upper Silesian Museum invited families to "Pomaluj sobie jaskinię", "Paint Your Own Cave", a workshop on prehistoric-style wall painting. Inside the museum, a new generation learned how humans first made images on walls, while outside, on concrete, the latest chapter of that very old story was already shining in the sun. * * * Final words =========== This week began with EDUARDOMORENONETO on Avenida Paulista, where São Paulo's grandest boulevard once again became a stage for a nation testing its voice. CAFECONENKE then showed us how a single mantis on rain-soaked bricks in Lleida can hold an entire season of change. At midweek, SPACESMUTJE found Mattheuer's masked bronze in Berlin, a reminder that civic courage often begins with the decision to be seen, before KOINOFICIAL guided us to Laguna's fishing shelters, where people and dolphins have shared the same waters for generations. TORROCUS brought the journey to a close in Bytom, where a mechanical stare on a concrete wall meets the legends of the silver mines below. Together, these Clicks show how much can be contained in a single frame. A crowd can reveal a country's political pulse, an insect can explain an ecosystem, a sculpture can carry the memory of a revolution, a boat shed can hold centuries of local knowledge, and a mural can continue a city's oldest stories in a brand-new language. Each photograph remains faithful to the scene its Clickstar encountered, with its origin preserved through Click Camera and the Trust Network. ![](https://paragraph.com/editor/callout/information-icon.png) **Want to be featured next?** Keep Clicking, keep signing and keep showing the world what authentic looks like - one capture at a time. **Now, go relax and enjoy your weekend!** And help us spread the word about [**Click**](https://clickapp.com/).
