Summary
Chiefly illustrated edition comprising the photographs taken in Venezuela from 2004 to 2006 by New York documentary photographer Christopher Anderson and that represent his cinematic journey through the upheavals of contemporary Caracas, Venezuela, in the tradition of such earlier projects as William Klein's "New York" (1954-55) and Robert Frank's "The Americans" (1958). A poetic and politicized vision of a city where the violent and the sensual intermingle chaotically. "I sometimes imagine Caracas as a living breathing animal. Obscured by the darkness it appears both violent and sensual, but perhaps it's true nature will only be revealed at the moment it devours me."-- Christopher Anderson web page.
