S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 A unique blue light. So Brazilian photographer Paulo Fabre described the surroundings in Tanger, Morocco<\/strong>. The photographer spent four days in the city in 2018, and when he returned to Brazil<\/strong>, he noticed similarities with Rio de Janeiro. Fabre\u2019s idea gave rise to the project Rio-Tanger<\/strong>, in which he draws parallels between pictures he took in places like Cinel\u00e2ndia and Lapa and the Moroccan city.<\/p>\n

Despite years had passed between the pictures<\/strong>, as those taken in Rio de Janeiro<\/strong> date back from 2010 and 2011, Fabre saw a bridge between the daily life of Cariocas and Morroccans. \u201cI got into my head that I had to go to Tanger. It\u2019s a city with a long history that dates back from the Phoenicians, and it\u2019s now going through a moment of renovation. Furthermore, many artists go went there like American authors Paul Bowles and Jane Bowles, who moved to Tanger and welcomed writers like Truman Capote. And The Rolling Stones spent some time in Tanger in the late 1960s,\u201d the photographer said.<\/p>\n

Another artist, painter Henri Matisse<\/a>, also discussed the lights of Tanger<\/strong>, Fabre points out. \u201cHe attributes a major turning point in his career to the lights and colors of Tanger,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The book<\/strong><\/p>\n

The series now leads to a photo book<\/strong> to be published later this year by Moroccan publishing house Khbar Bladna. It\u2019ll come out in the art for collectors section and will be the first book by the Brazilian artist to be released by the publishing house. Fabre contacted the publishing house after coming across a book while visiting local bookstores. \u201cI bought a book by them, and then I wrote to the publisher. She really enjoyed my idea for the pictures,\u201d he said about international artist Elena Prentice, who owns Khbar Bladna.<\/p>\n

The book is expected to be launched in May, when the Moroccan city will host a literature fair. The book features a few texts to be published in English, French and Arabic with an initial print run of 150 to 200 copies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m extremely happy to have a book published in Morocco. I believe it\u2019s the start of a conversation between the countries and Rio and Tanger. They\u2019re both port cities. Rio is our landmark. And Tanger got this mix of peoples. Founded by the Phoenicians, it has always been a port, a trade city. In Rio we also have a bit of everything,\u201d the photographer explained.<\/p>\n

Fabre plans on publishing the book in Brazil, too. \u201cI\u2019d like to launch it here and hold a little exhibit aimed at starting this conversation. If a photographer has saw so many similarities between the two places, I believe there\u2019s more that can bring Brazil and Morocco closer together,\u201d he added, mentioning he is searching for support to make the project a reality.<\/p>\n
