Photographs by Barbara Wagner
In Barbara Wagner's photographs of the urban beach of Brasilia Teimosa, loud colours, stark shapes and lashings of light depict supposedly flawed standards of beauty, revealing a sense of joy in a world that requires enormous strength of character. "A Sunday at the beach with music and dancing can bring to light subjects that are rarely dealt with by the media, which flattens and stigmatises the margins of society."
