Description:
Carnivals of the World
Photographs by Marcelo Bendahan
January 2011
This book represents a long-term project on the feast
of Carnival, exploring both the multitude of expressions it has found worldwide, and the way in which each city has come to adopt rituals differently. Carnival is a festival season occurring immediately before Lent, with the main events usually held during February or March. Photographer Marcelo Bendahan
presents a dynamic exploration of how people portray themselves, exchange messages and communicate stories during Carnival. The images are bright, glamorous and genuinely exotic; their vibrant colours and intense facial expressions seem to transport the viewer into another world. In total, the book contains over 200 photographs.
About the Photographer
Marcelo Bendahan, (Spain 1970) began his professional career in 1995 after graduating from the School of Communication in Madrid. Approached by the Performing
Arts Library of London, he spent five years
photographing the fascinating music scene in this
vibrant city. His work has appeared in such prestigious
magazines as BBC Music, the Daily Telegraph and the
Sunday Times. Since 2004 he has presented a range of
large-format books of photographs, including Amsterdam
Always, Melilla Viva and Jerusalem Always.
Carnivals of the World has taken him to 12 countries,
representing both a decade of hard work and a tremendous
achievement – a book born of the irrepressible
urge of the human race to enjoy and celebrate life. |
