Description

In this black-and-white photograph, the silhouettes of three women are captured, their elongated and striking shadows projected onto the ground like a silent and captivating dance. Taken during a carnival parade in Gothenburg, they emerge as spectral figures of movement and the vibrant joy that Brazilian carnival evokes, even thousands of kilometers away from its tropical roots.

The absence of color invites a different immersion: without the vibrant exuberance of carnival, what remains are the forms and expressions of the bodies, which, in the anonymity of their shadows, acquire a unique universality. These contours suggest freedom, elation, and camaraderie, expressing the contagious essence of the celebration. In their postures and gestures, there is a glimpse of shared joy and collective strength, reminding us that carnival is, above all, a celebration of unity and individual expression.

Black and white is not an absence but rather a presence of nostalgia that transcends borders and reflects the power of culture. The image stirs a mix of joy and longing, a sensation of movement and pause, as if these women were dancing eternally between light and shadow, celebrating carnival everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
