Disorder celebrates the large-scale color photographs of Brazilian artist Caio Reisewitz, which explore the results of economic development in both the city and the countryside in his home country. His images reference Brazil’s colonial and modernist architecture.

One of Brazil's leading contemporary photographers, Caio Reisewitz (b. 1967) has produced a remarkable body of work during the past 15 years, concentrating almost exclusively on Brazilian subjects. His large-scale color photographs explore the changing relation of the city and the countryside in a period of feverish economic development. Many of Reisewitz's photographs testify to his fascination with the architectural heritage of Brazil's colonial period, as well as its innovative 20th-century modernist architecture. Other imposing works portray the pristine landscapes and dense forests around his hometown of São Paulo?areas that are now threatened by urban sprawl. His smaller-format photocollages take a very different direction, employing a playful, jazz-like visual approach.00Exhibition: International Center of Photography, NYC, USA (May 16, 2014 Sep 07, 2014) / Huis Marseille, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (03.07.-03.09.2015).
