The color of earth in Brasìlia, Brazil’s modernist planned capital,  is famous for its redness. These photographs are an attempt to coincide earth and flesh thru colour.

They were taken under midday sun in the 2013 summer.  

Originally, the word brasil means a  place for embers (brasa stands for live coal) The work points both to this more archaic meaning of the name of a country and to the coming future where earth is humanized, with stone becoming flesh and vice-versa.
