Like a Samba

For the first time, works from three photographers - René Burri (1933-2014), David Alan Harvey (*1944) and Francesco Zizola (*1962) - come together for Like a Samba. A collection of photographs which express a sort of longing, a sort of love song, a sort of saudade. This collection of images looks at the beaches of Rio de Janeiro from the outside. Three foreigners, yes, a Swiss, an American, an Italian - but all three with a certain creed - have walked this beat for months, years and decades. And their Rio remains enigmatic.
Like the Girl from Ipanema, within reach, but not quite... 

When she walks, she's like a samba
That swings so cool and sways so gentle that
When she passes, each one she passes goes ah…

But I watch her so sadly
How can I tell her, "I love you?"
Yes, I would give my heart gladly
But each day, when she walks to the sea
She looks straight ahead, not at me.
