Río Amazonas
By Guilherme Bergamini
Macapá city, the capital of Amapá state, is a unique Brazilian city crossed by the Amazon River. After the high tide, old wooden posts become the goal of a soccer field popularly known as “foot mud”. The water level goes down, and the game begins. It rises, and the game is over.
The time stopwatch doesn’t make sense here. The rain and the tide offer us multiple “time” shades.
Between 3 pm and 7 pm, the tide comes down and the colors vibrate, a unique phenomenon in Amapá.
