By showing over two hundred photographs Kunsthal Rotterdam presents an impressive part of the extensive oeuvre of renowned Swiss Magnum photographer René Burri. His work is put on display in the Netherlands for the first time ever.
The retrospective primarily displays vintage prints and personal documents and gives an insight to the diversity of subjects that Burri has managed to capture on camera over the past fifty years. Ranging from his first series on deaf-mute Swiss children in 1955, which gained him international fame, to his account of post-War Germany and his iconic town views of Sao Paolo. Burri's portraits of political and cultural key figures from the twentieth century are also put on display, amongst whom Che Guevara, Winston Churchill, Alberto Giacometti and Pablo Picasso.
Alongside photographs of wars, Heads and artists, he also captured the modern architecture of Oscar Niemeyer and Le Corbusier in Rio de Janeiro. Characteristic of Burri's Photography is his working with series of photos of an event instead of trying to capture something in one moment.
