By revealing rituals for “disappearance” that Ribeiro conceives and performs with other women to heal a traumatic experience of love and death she had, ‘Photo-Rituals for Disappearance’ celebrates the ancient, magical way women have to deal with love and remedy. By absorbing the aura of pagan rituals to praise the powers of care and healing inherited from female shamans, healers and midwives, she shapes a form of resistance, a counterpoint to the stigmatization and persecution of the female being we have lived over time –labelled as “witch”. The book brings together elements from various sources that connect the Global North with the Global South, past with present, and photography with other media (illustration, expired analogue film, 17th-century women’s recipes for natural remedies, current-time fortune teller leaflets, cyanotype and poetry).

Photo-Rituals for Disappearance has been nominated as one of LensCulture Favorite Photobooks of the Year and at The Royal Photographic Society WE ARE Magazine favourite photobooks. To find out more please go to the direct link.
