At 46 years old, the photographer \u2013 also an Ogan of Xang\u00f4 at the Terreiro Il\u00ea Ax\u00e9 Icimim\u00f3 in Cachoeira-BA \u2013 has been developing since 2003 a visual discourse dedicated to the enchantment of Afro-Brazilian popular culture, driven by the urgency to leave a legacy of the &#8220;Brazil he dreamed of.&#8221; With a background in Communication and Anthropology, his work moves between international festivals and the daily devotion to the terreiros (houses of worship), creating a bridge between tradition and contemporaneity.<\/h4>\n<h4>His essay &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/en\/photo-essay\/eco-egum\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>ECO EGUM<\/strong><\/a>&#8220;, a finalist in the Photo Essay category of the <a href=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/en\/contest\/finalists-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>FotoDoc Photo Contest 2025<\/strong><\/a>, is a bold visual intervention on the open wounds of slavery. Using the Feira de S\u00e3o Joaquim \u2013 a predominantly Black popular market in Salvador \u2013 as a microcosm of Brazil, Xavier digitally inserts images of enslaved African people (photographed by Christiano Jr. in the 19th century) into the contemporary setting of the market. The result is a disturbing fabulation where past and present coexist: ancestors and descendants share the same space, questioning the notion of time and highlighting how the colonial enterprise still echoes in Brazilian society. More than a denunciation, the project is a ritual of visibility \u2013 a photographic summons for us to confront the unresolved historical issues that haunt our future.<\/h4>\n<h4>Learn more about this visceral work and the projects that honor ancestry in the following interview.<\/h4>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49387\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49387\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-49387\" src=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-01-Vinicius-Xavier.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-01-Vinicius-Xavier.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-01-Vinicius-Xavier-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-01-Vinicius-Xavier-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-01-Vinicius-Xavier-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-01-Vinicius-Xavier-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-01-Vinicius-Xavier-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-01-Vinicius-Xavier-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-01-Vinicius-Xavier-1140x760.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49387\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Imagem do Ensaio ECO EGUM, de Vinicius Xavier, finalista do Pr\u00eamio Portf\u00f3lio FotoDoc 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49389\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49389\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-49389\" src=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-02-Vinicius-Xavier.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-02-Vinicius-Xavier.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-02-Vinicius-Xavier-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-02-Vinicius-Xavier-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-02-Vinicius-Xavier-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-02-Vinicius-Xavier-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-02-Vinicius-Xavier-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-02-Vinicius-Xavier-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-02-Vinicius-Xavier-1140x760.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49389\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Imagem do Ensaio ECO EGUM, de Vinicius Xavier, finalista do Pr\u00eamio Portf\u00f3lio FotoDoc 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_49391\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-49391\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-49391\" src=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-03-Vinicius-Xavier.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-03-Vinicius-Xavier.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-03-Vinicius-Xavier-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-03-Vinicius-Xavier-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-03-Vinicius-Xavier-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-03-Vinicius-Xavier-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-03-Vinicius-Xavier-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-03-Vinicius-Xavier-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/fotodoc.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/PPF2025-5-377-03-Vinicius-Xavier-1140x760.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-49391\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Imagem do Ensaio ECO EGUM, de Vinicius Xavier, finalista do Pr\u00eamio Portf\u00f3lio FotoDoc 2025<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"ds-message _656c965\">\n<div class=\"ds-markdown\">\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><em><strong>How old are you?
