Description
Bate-bola #003, Turma Enigma, Marechal Hermes, Rio de Janeiro 2013. Fine-art print on baryta paper, 60 x 40 cm - Edition 6/8.
This captivating artwork captures the dramatic intensity of a nighttime Rio de Janeiro carnival scene. Bate-Bola adorned in vibrant, layered costumes designed with intricate patterns dominate the foreground, each figure carrying an ornate umbrella. The characters hold expressive dolls, adding an element of whimsy and mystery to the scene. A golden-hued light bathes the surroundings, creating a surreal, dreamlike atmosphere, while silhouetted figures dance amidst swirling confetti and smoke. The dynamic composition and use of light and shadow emphasize movement, enhancing the sense of celebration. This artwork uniquely blends elements of festivity and enigma, drawing the viewer into the heart of the carnival's pulsating energy. The contrast between the detailed costumes and the blurred, illuminated background creates a striking visual impact, making it a compelling piece.
The series dedicated to Bate-Bola — the carnival of Rio's northern and western neighborhoods — transcends simple reportage: it reveals an aesthetic of trance, an alteration of perception in which the street becomes a sacred stage.
Bate-Bola is a carnival tradition from the outskirts of Rio: costumed groups with flamboyant masks, colorful capes, and bursts of sound parade through the streets, transforming them into an ephemeral theater. Drawing from multiple influences — from European Pierrot figures to Afro-Brazilian spiritualities and even pop culture — it condenses excess, invention, and collective vitality.
Presentation
Vincent Rosenblatt, originally from Paris and a graduate of ENSBA, has lived and worked in Rio de Janeiro since 2002, where he initially created a photography studio: Olhares do Morro, in the Santa Marta favela, where he taught photography to young people until 2008.
Since 2005, he has worked with the underground scene of Funk parties and the little-known Bate-Bola Carnival in the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, as well as in the Amazon, especially in Belém do Pará. He has exhibited at the MEP (Maison européenne de la photographie) in Paris, at the MAR (Museu de Arte do Rio), among others.
