Sebastião Salgado. Amazônia

Product Information

ríos por buscadores de oro independientes y la invasión implacable de bosques vírgenes por madereros extrayendo

En el prólogo del libro, Salgado escribe: «Para mí, es la última frontera, un universo misterioso donde el poder de la naturaleza se puede sentir como en ningún otro lugar de la Tierra. Aquí, hay un bosque que se extiende hasta el infinito y que contiene una décima parte de todas las especies vegetales y animales existentes. Es el laboratorio natural más grande del mundo». Biglietto ridotto speciale studenti, tutti i martedì (festivi esclusi) per studenti superiori e universitari. Con oltre 200 fotografie esposte, la mostra si sviluppa attorno a due temi: le fotografie di ambientazione paesaggistica e le fotografie delle popolazioni indigene. Le fotografie paesaggistiche di Salgado The emotions I have felt most deeply while looking at Salgado’s work have been gratitude and wonder,” said Bierman. “There’s a whole world out there that he has devoted his life to, and through his photographs you get to travel. I get a sense of awe, wonder, and gratitude for his work.”With over 200 images, captured over 7 years spent travelling in the region, visitors will get to explore one of the most unique environments on the planet through Salgado’s eyes; That riverboat journey was an attempt – doomed as it turned out – to find the source of one of Amazônia’s rivers, as well as a chance to take photographs of riverbanks that look like huge walls of trees. But to reach his ultimate destination, the communities who live deep in the forest, Salgado needed to navigate smaller streams in narrower boats. His book contains a shot of 10 or so small vessels moored at daybreak: dark and sharply focused, they stand out from the misty, featureless landscape behind, their seats catching the morning sun and shining silver. Whose are they? L’unico modo per poter cogliere le reali dimensioni della foresta è osservandola dallo spazio. Occupa un terzo del continente sudamericano, un’area più estesa dell’intera Unione Europea, è attraversata dal Rio delle Amazzoni che, con i suoi circa 1.100 affluenti, di cui 17 lunghi più di 1.500 chilometri, alla fine della sua corsa riversa nell’Oceano Atlantico, il 20% dell’acqua dolce di tutta la Terra. For years, he and his wife Leliahave worked to restore a portion of the Atlantic Forest. And they created Instituto Terra, a nature reserve and an institute for reforestation, conservation and environmental education. Mountains– Brazil also boasts mountain ranges, which feature peaks shrouded in mist and rainforest-covered lower slopes.

All the biodiversity has returned, even the jaguars, which were thought to be extinct in our region,” enthuses the photographer. The Institute, which is part of the UNESCO Mata Atlântica biosphere reserve, also has an educational vocation, raising awareness about the environment. These are all objectives of UNESCO’s Man and the Biosphere ( MAB) programme – which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2021, and with which Salgado is actively involved. This talk took place earlier this year as part of Photo London’s Book Club live events, to coincide with the UK launch of Salgado’s ‘Amazônia’ book published by TASCHEN. Salgado visitó a docenas de tribus indígenas que viven en comunidades repartidas por la mayor selva tropical del planeta. Documentó la vida cotidiana de los yanomamis, los asháninkas, los yawanawás, los suruwahás, los zo’és, los kuikuros, los waurás, los kamayurás, los korubos, los marubos, los awás y los macuxis: sus estrechos lazos familiares, cómo cazan y pescan, cómo preparan y comparten las comidas, su maravilloso talento a la hora de pintarse el rostro y el cuerpo, la importancia de sus chamanes, sus danzas y rituales.Our aim is to draw attention to the unparalleled beauty of this vast region and to underline the critical importance of protecting it and its endangered inhabitants.” The exhibition is supported by Zurich Insurance Company Ltd (Principal Sponsor) and Natura &Co (Major Sponsor).

Osservata da un aereo o da un elicottero, la foresta pluviale di colpo prende forma: un vasto manto verde decorato dalle linee curve e sinuose dei lenti fiumi che lo attraversano. Durante la stagione delle piogge questo arazzo ordinato viene scompaginato dai fiumi che esondano dai propri argini, alle volte addentrandosi fino a 100 chilometri nella foresta, altre dando vita a laghi e lagune. Il paesaggio è talmente pianeggiante che a Tabatinga, al confine occidentale tra Brasile e Colombia, il Rio delle Amazzoni si trova a soli 73 metri sopra il livello del mare sebbene gli restino ancora 4.660 chilometri da percorrere. Magnum Opus is the largest curated photographic solo exhibition that Sotheby’s has ever mounted, bringing together work from 40 years of Salgado’s career. It is a chance to see many of Salgado’s greatest hits, among them a striking shot of a mud-covered worker bent over in exhaustion while hauling a heavy load up out of the Serra Pelada goldmine; two members of the Mixe Indigenous community in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, arms outstretched while gazing out into the clouds as though they are about to fly off; and refugees from the 1983-85 Ethiopian famine huddled around a massive tree trunk while godlike rays of sunlight penetrate down diagonally around them.

La loro forza è tale che anche i grandi aeroplani fanno il possibile per evitarli, gli elicotteri si lanciano all’immediata ricerca di una radura nella giungla in cui atterrare e le imbarcazioni si affrettano a trovare riparo dalla pioggia accecante. In rare occasioni, la più recente delle quali nel 2005, la tempesta può essere così devastante da abbattere centinaia di migliaia di alberi. Although the tribes do some farming, they largely rely on hunting, fishing and gathering fruit, just like their hunter-gatherer forebears. Some of Salgado’s most startling shots show proud hunters carrying dead monkeys home to eat. Yet, he points out, they live in rhythm with nature. When a village gets too big for its ecosystem, it voluntarily splits and part of the community moves to fresh forest. Salgado admires, even envies, the balance their lifestyle allows. “There’s fish in the rivers, animals in the forest, fruit in the trees. They live so well. They have so much time to discuss, to sing, to have parties.” mundo» gracias a su absorción de vastas cantidades de dióxido de carbono, es sin duda un factor clave en la lucha contra
