The Girls from Ipanema - Rio de Janeiro

2000 | high-gloss C-print mounted between 2 mm Dibond and 2 mm Plexiglas provided with a U-profile on the back | 59 × 42 cm

Part of the Exactitudes photo series, these middle-aged ladies parade around Ipanema Beach in Rio de Janeiro like eternal girls.

They were young in the mid-1960s, back when the Brazilian bossa nova song The Girl from Ipanema was a worldwide hit. Who knows? Maybe the song was based on one of them.
