Format: Hardback
Number of Pages:
On the occasion of his 80th birthday, the photographer of the iconic portraits of Che Guevara, Winston Churchill and Pablo Picasso is publishing 136 color works from 50 years of photography. Each photograph, reproduced on a full page, tells Burri's personal story. The projects he chooses reflect his enormous curiosity for people and places and differ from his black and white works in their abstractness, poetry and also in their anthropological perspective. IMPOSSIBLE REMINISCENCES is organized by color: images of lush green slowly change to the gloomy blue of the nighttime streets of Havana and move through the color spectrum to the blazing purple of Tokyo and the red flag-waving crowds of Tiananmen Square. RenŽ Burri has traveled to places whose characteristics are reflected in colors: the muted colors of post-war Germany, Poland and Czechoslovakia and, in stark contrast, the trendy colors of the USA in the 50s, 60s and 70s.
