The Great Drought is a circular, imaginary perambulation through the city of São Paulo, from the historic center towards its edges and back, assembled from juxtapositions that reveal a self-devouring city in constant mutation. The book is a photographic exploration into the generic, global city, suspended between its physical presence and its image.
Ronald Ansbach was born in Ponta Grossa, Brazil. Educated as an architect in Canada, he is dedicated to the photography of architecture and of cities, with a particular focus on the current transformations of urban and rural landscapes.
