Costanera

  • Photographer
    Ricardo Pareyon Aveleyra

Costanera is a photograph I made during a trip to the city of Rosario in Argentina and I took it on the waterfront of the Parana River. When I saw the river, I remembered a story I had heard as a child by the writer and singer María Elena Walsh. The story, entitled 'The Mermaid and the Captain' has a phrase that says: 'On nights of full moon, on the Parana River, a mermaid goes singing'. I have the feeling that this phrase somehow influenced the photograph.
