Description :
2010 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the inauguration of Brazil’s capital Brasilia designed by architects Lúcio Costa and Oscar Niemeyer.
René Burri, an internationally celebrated Swiss-born photographer and member of the legendary Magnum agency, visited the city for the first time on a long journey around South America in 1958, when most of Brasilia was a vast building site.
He returned many times over more than thirty years, documenting the growth and development of this urban utopia.
Besides documenting the buildings in various stages of completion, Burri took portraits of Niemeyer and his workers and photographed Brasilia’s street scenes and people.
An exceptional document by an exceptional photographer.
