Working as a volunteer in logistics for several NGOs in the health sector, Pivatti had the opportunity to carry out several forays into the dense forest, establishing periods of direct contact with various ethnicities of the original peoples. The experience of living in this environment resulted in a rich photographic collection, as well as a collection of indigenous artifacts.

During his proximity to these people, the professional was able to interact and document through his lenses the daily life of the indigenous people, including activities such as hunting, fishing, games, food preparation, the interior of the huts, and mainly, recorded rituals in which the presence of external people is highly restricted.

He reports that anthropological and cultural experiences, added to the adversities faced to survive in the jungle, shaped his versatility and ability to adapt as a photographer. The extensive journeys by land, water and air allowed us to get to know Brazil’s origins intimately.

Curated by architect Cristina Sagarra, the exhibition shown at Campinas Decor is, according to Pivatti, just a fraction of the vast material accumulated throughout these trips, which includes a collection of more than 10 thousand photographs and a private collection of artifacts worthy of a museum.
“The public who visits the exhibition prepared exclusively for Campinas Decor and which we brought to the exhibition in the week in which the Day of the Original Peoples is celebrated, will be able to see photographs of indigenous rituals that are part of my personal collection and are exclusive records, given the restriction of witnessing these occasions. In addition, we gathered artifacts of great anthropological, historical and cultural value, such as a trunk used in the Xinguan Ritual of Kuarup and the Glove of Tucandeira Ants from the Ritual of Passage of the Sateré-Mawé People”, says the photographer.
