“At this time, Germany was simply the place where certain post-war divisions had manifested in a very dramatic manner. That’s what prompted me to create a book that was not about France or Italy, or a subject that was more pleasant, but to visit the place where certain contrasts were colliding.” (René Burri, Leica-World, 1997)
Excerpts from René Burri’s famous series are on show at the Folia Gallery in Paris from 13 May to 25 July 2020.
