Amazonias

A journey through the Amazon, exploring both its physical territory and its subjective dimensions—the imagined worlds of local ethnic groups and our own projections. Ecosystems in perfect balance, where life and death sustain time in an infinite spiral.

The book is a journey through the Amazon—both its physical territory and its subjective realm: the heat and the scent, the sound and the silences, the fantastical imaginings of local ethnic groups and our own projections. Endless paths and ecosystems in perfect balance, the macro and the micro in constant dialogue, reality and fiction walking side by side, diverse life cycles unfolding in harmony, life and death holding time in an infinite spiral.

It is a voyage and a tribute to the silent, vital, and diverse plant life that follows its own rhythms and forms—life that our culture has learned to ignore and forget for centuries, as nature and culture have grown increasingly distant from one another.
