"Marc Ferrez's Rio presents a broad and profound reading of the author's photographic work on the city of Rio de Janeiro. Together, the images and texts shed light on various seminal aspects of this important photographer, as well as Rio de Janeiro's urban evolution from the late 1800s to the early 20th century--something of special significance in the year in which we celebrate the 450th anniversary of the city's founding. On this occasion, IMS also publishes Rio, by Robert Polidori (Steidl/IMS, 2015), a book that documents the city of Rio de Janeiro between 2002 and 2014."--Volume 1, page 9.
