Recorridos is Brauchli’s ongoing photographic project exploring the Rio Grande, tracing its course from the headwaters above Silverton, Colorado, to the mouth of the river between Texas and Playa Bagdad, Matamoros. Employing historical photographic techniques such as copperplate photogravure, cyanotype, and platinotypes, Brauchli critiques some of the contradictions of modernity, highlighting the ecological devastation and cultural complexities tied to industrialization and the concept of progress while capturing both the beauty and the stark realities of natural and social landscapes.
