About exhibition:

Sebastião Salgado – Brazilian master photographer, renowned internationally for his black and white portraits of landscape, wildlife and humans, epic cycles that document the social and natural life. He has travelled in over 100 countries for his photographic projects. Curated by Lélia Wanick Salgado, touring exhibitions of this work have been, and continue to be, presented throughout the world.

In 2004, Sebastião Salgado began a project named Genesis, aiming at the presentation of the unblemished faces of nature and humanity. It consists of a series of photographs of landscapes and wildlife, as well as of human communities that continue to live in accordance with their ancestral traditions and cultures.

“Genesis” is a photographic journey into the planet – an expedition to rediscover the mountains, deserts and oceans, the animals and peoples that have so far escaped the imprint of modern society. The land and life of a still pristine planet. Yet “Genesis” is also a project that speaks urgently to our own age. By portraying the breathtaking beauty of a “lost” world that somehow survives, it proclaims: this is what is in peril; this is what we must save.
