Venice: Tre Oci - Sebastiao Salgado – Genesis exhibition

 
Venice: Tre Oci - Sebastiao Salgado – Genesis exhibition.  Sebastiao Salgado is the most important documentary photographer of our time.  At  the Tre Oci, until May 5, on the Giudecca island, he presents his new photographic work, Genesis, made during the course of the last ten years. A passionate look tended to emphasize the need to protect our planet, to change our way of life, to take on new behavior, more respectful of nature and what surrounds us, and to gain a new harmony.

Venice: Tre Oci - Sebastiao Salgado – Genesis exhibition.  It is a journey through landscapes and seascapes.   The discovery of peoples and animals that have escaped the embrace of the contemporary world. The proof that our planet still includes extensive remote regions, where Nature reigns in the silence of its immaculate magnificence; in tropical rainforests, in the savannas, in the vastness of the scorching deserts, between mountains covered by glaciers and lonely islands. Regions that are too cold or dry for anything except the most resistant forms of life.   Areas that are home to ancient tribes and animal species whose survival is based precisely on the insulation.
