Photography

Photos by JM Ramirez-Suassi from Fordlândia 9. 

This body of work documents the failed utopian city of Forlandia, a wildly misguided dream of Henry Ford's in which the 1920s industrialist thought he could buy a plot of land in Brazil for manufacturing rubber while turning that land into a modern American town.

Interested in music, photography, technology, and sports.

This body of work is less about the physical roads and buildings, and much more about the emotions that ran through Fordlandia. 

The ego and arrogance of Henry Ford vs. the optimism and eventual disappointment of the people who took a chance on Fordlandia, hoping it would be their chance at financial freedom.
