Olympia

Olympic Games are a world of perfect staging of big heros, nations and powerful people. A world apart, which won´t work without the images of countless media. The always-the-same depiction of spectacle produces new icons steadily. In my series, I try to stand back of that spectacle and take a look behind the scenes by separating myself from the "official" pictures, which normally show the newsworthy stories.

All images of this series were created in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil during the Olympic Summer Games 2016 from August 5 to August 21 in its venues.
