The color of dirt in Brasìlia, Brazil’s modernist planned capital, is famous for its redness. These photographs are an attempt to coincide earth and flesh through colour. They were taken under midday sun in the 2013 summer.
Originally 'brasil' means a place for embers (brasa means live coal), the work also tries to rescue this archaic meaning, very far from the cliches associated with the country.
