You can try to identify beauty and cruelty, truth and lie, good and bad. Yet there is no universal instruction for it. Rio de Janeiro is not so much one city as different worlds: multiplied realities of one place and the space in between. A two-ness, two warring ideals in one body with an inherently split personality. The two-ness of a land, vulnerable and powerful at the same time. Seduction and corruption, stimulation and frustration, desire and gunfires. Moshammer photographed Rio just before the 2016 Olympic Games, documenting an exciting mix of architectural shots inside favelas, unexpected still lifes, curious observations, and portraits of local residents.
