“Into the mountain”, Lucas Ratton, Brasil, 2021, 8’

Nicole Barreto is a base jumper who lives at the foot of the iconic and mystical Pedra da Gávea mountain, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. After hundreds of climbs to practice the base jump, Nicole developed a connection with the mountain and its forest, considered by many to be a mystical mountain. With a striking photograph and an intimate narrative, Nicole shares her feelings and all the wisdom taught by the mountain, and reflects on how small we are in the face of nature.
