That year there was no Carnival

These pictures were taken in São Paulo, during the Carnival on March of 2020. Covid-19 was still just a rumor, something happening far away, in China and Europe. More than 1 million people filled the streets with this amazing energy, like an explosion of life, but just two weeks later we were in lockdown. There was no Carnival this year, but this series represent something that we can aspire to get back to, the beauty, excess and also sadness of Carnival. A representation of life itself, before this strange state of suspension we now live in.
