At Arpoador, the city of Rio de Janeiro turns to face itself in a ritual of contemplation.

This series is, in truth, a photographic notebook, with no specific start date or foreseeable end. A place to record the different performances that the stretch between Ipanema and Copacabana offers to those who swim there.
