Rio de Janeiro / Beach

Praia do Diabo is a very small beach, stuck between the two giants Copacabana and Ipanema. As it is smaller than its two neighbors, it is also less crowded, and looks much wilder. Perfect place to see the sunrise in winter, with a few surfers for only company.

Rio de Janeiro / Art

A Mesa is an art gallery, founded by four women, who define it as a resistant space. It is located in the colorful Morro da Conceição, in front of a small square where talks and events are held in parallel with exhibitions, gathering local inhabitants and visitors.

Amsterdam / Photographer

Elisabeth is a Dutch photographer based in Amsterdam. She has been fascinated with photography and aesthetics as well as searching for perfection and imperfection for as long as she can remember. Outdoors or on the information highway, she is always looking for images that impress or inspire her. In her own work she seeks to inject places and objects with serenity and timelessness infecting them with mystery. For Elisabeth a photo doesn’t have to be explained in detail but can be smashed of its plans. Thereby providing space to the plan -in theory- to transform itself, dependent on its surrounding. She likes to capture the unconscious by following her own sense of beauty. Her goal is to capture life in silence, to hold a moment that remains present, captivating and accessible, but diametrically vague and elusive.
