“Encantado,” an exhibition and book launch by photographer Vavá Ribeiro opens for Paris Photo week
Photographed over four years in the Brazilian Amazon, the project explores the legend of the boto cor-de-rosa, a pink river dolphin believed to transform into a handsome man who seduces women at night. Combining rare underwater photographs with staged scenes created alongside the riverside community of Tumbira, Ribeiro moves between mythology and documentary photography.
Exhibition & Book Launch: Tuesday, November 10th, 6–9 PM, at 5 rue Bailly, Paris
Book Signing: Saturday, November 14th, at the Libraryman booth during Polycopies Book Fair, Paris
