The work depicts a complex vision of Caracas, its beauty and its chaos, as Anderson charts the turmoil and popular unrest in a country troubled by conflict. <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The word \u2018capitolio\u2019 refers to the domed building that houses a government,&#8221; says Anderson. &#8220;Here, the city of Caracas, Venezuela, is itself a metaphorical capitolio building. The decaying Modernist architecture, with a jungle growing through the cracks, becomes the walls of this building and the violent streets become the corridors where the human drama plays itself out in what President Hugo Chavez called a &#8216;revolution.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> Anderson (born Texas, 1970) started his photography career in the photolab of the <em>Dallas Morning News<\/em> and now works as a reportage photographer covering issues such as the economic crisis in Russia, Afghan refugees in Pakistan and more recently the election of Evo Morales in Bolivia. Anderson has received the Kodak Young Photographer of the Year Award, the Robert Capa Gold Medal and was nominated to Magnum in 2005.
