Pierre Verger (1902-1996) fue un fotógrafo, etnólogo, antropólogo e investigador francés que vivió gran parte de su vida en Salvador de Bahía, Brasil.
Viajó menos por el deseo de hacer etnografía o reportajes que por la voluntad de alejarse, de liberarse y de escapar del medio en el que había vivido.
Pierre Verger (1902-1996) was a French photographer, ethnologist, anthropologist and researcher who lived most of his life in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil.
He traveled less out of a desire for ethnography or reportage than out of a desire to get away, to free himself and escape from the environment in which he had lived.
With his rolleiflex camera, Verger produced a photographic work of great importance, based on everyday life and popular culture in the five continents.
During his stay in Mexico (1937, 1939 and 1957), he explored different places with the most diverse approaches: festivals and customs, architecture, characters and popular life.
The traveling exhibition makes a retrospective of these themes through a museography based on wood and jute, always privileging the direct experience with the photo, with those intimate images that put the visitor in a similar situation to the people he portrayed.
