Description

René Burri’s photographic exploration of Brasilia spans nearly four decades, capturing the city’s modernist architecture and evolving urban landscape with a documentary precision. His use of black-and-white imagery highlights the interplay of light and shadow on the bold geometric forms designed by Oscar Niemeyer.

René Burri. Brasilia: Photographs 1958-1997 collects these images to reveal the ambitious vision behind Brazil’s planned capital. Burri’s work emphasizes the contrast between the stark architectural lines and the human activity that animates the city, offering a layered visual narrative from its inception through to the late 20th century.
