CAFUNÉ by Rafael Fabrés – URBAN Book Award 2023
WINNING PROJECT URBAN BOOK AWARD 2023 by Rafael Fabrés
In Brazilian portuguese the word cafuné is a gesture of affection towards a loved one. This project is a gesture of affection towards Rio de Janeiro in all its extremes. Focusing tangentially on the "pacification" of the favelas of Rio, the project is a document of the marvelous city during the World cup, the Olympic games, the Pope's visit and the massive protests in 2013. While the work documents a fundamental period in Brazilian history, the project is both personal and intimate. A photographer's diary of the joy and sorrow of a city as intense and unequal as Rio de Janeiro. A personal reconciliation and a bittersweet farewell to a place and a time of extremes.
