Il fiume e la Vita – Amazzonia
In questo reportage fotografico faremo un viaggio lungo un tratto del Rio delle Amazzoni, da Nauta la località maggiormente urbanizzata di questo tratto amazzonico a Curuinsi, un piccolo villaggio immerso nella foresta amazzonica a 16 ore di navigazione dal primo ospedale utile. Il viaggio attraversa il Rio delle Amazzoni passando per località come Ollanta e Nueve de Octubre. Si descrive la vita lungo il Rio, la pesca, il gioco, l’economia dei mercati, le disuguaglianze, tutto scorre e vive luongo le rive del fiume; l’acqua è un elemento inscindibile nelle culture di questi luoghi, tutto sembra fluire in un costante ed armonioso equilibrio dettato dalla naturalezza e dalla mutevolezza dello scorrere delle acque.
