Sebastião Salgado - Genesis at Peter Fetterman Gallery
Sebastião Salgado’s last epic photographic project is in its last two years from being complete. For six years he has traveled worldwide from Alaska to the tundra of Siberia, to the Southern Sudan to capture the “untouched” environments of our planet. His goal is not to ideally show the beauty of these lands, animals and people, but to rather bring hope to us, so that we can see that all is not lost in this age of pollution and global climate change. With his amazing eye and sense of belonging he has captured the beautiful wonders that our planet has to offer; You get lost in the depth of the Sahara Desert in his photograph, Sahara/Algeria with the vast sands spreading as far the eye can see and you are belittled by the mammoth size of the iceberg in his photograph, Iceberg Between the Paulet Island and the Shetland Islands, Antarctica, as it towers over the ocean. He spends up to three to six months in each location to adapt to the lifestyle of the indigenous tribes, to understand the herds of the animals as if they were his own family and to be at peace and one with the vast and isolated landscapes.

This last project will be different than any other epic project he has done before. He is raising awareness for a cause that has no voice until we feel the consequences from the destruction we cause. He is the voice of these untouched lands to us; so that we may experience these majestic landscapes that one-day may not exist.
