And it was my privilege to listen.u201d u2014Sebastiu00e3o Salgado On a very fortuitous day in 1970, 26-year-old Sebastiu00e3o Salgado held a camera for the first time. When he looked through the viewfinder, he experienced a revelation: suddenly life made sense. From that day onwardu2014though it took years of hard work before he had the experience to earn his living as a photographeru2014the camera became his tool for interacting with our world. Salgado, who u201calways preferred the chiaroscuro palette of black-and-white images,u201d shot very little color in his early career before giving it up completely. Raised on a farm in Brazil, Salgado possessed a deep love and respect for nature; he was also particularly sensitive to the ways in which human beings are affected by their often devastating socio-economic conditions. Of the myriad works Salgado has produced in his acclaimed career, three long-term projects stand out: Workers (1993), documenting the vanishing way of life of manual laborers across the world, Migrations (2000), a tribute to mass migration driven by hunger, natural disasters, environmental degradation and demographic pressure, and this new opus,u00a0Genesis, the result of an epic eight-year expedition to rediscover the mountains, deserts and oceans, the animals and peoples that have so far escaped the imprint of modern societyu2014the land and life of a still-pristine planet. u201cSome 46% of the planet is still as it was in the time of genesis,u201d Salgado reminds us. u201cWe must preserve what exists.u201d The Genesis project, along with the Salgadosu2019 Instituto Terra, are dedicated to showing the beauty of our planet, reversing the damage done to it, and preserving it for the future. Over 30 tripsu2014travelled by foot, light aircraft, seagoing vessels, canoes, and even balloons, through extreme heat and cold and in sometimes dangerous conditionsu2014Salgado created a collection of images showing us nature, animals, and indigenous peoples in breathtaking beauty. Mastering the monochrome with an extreme deftness to rival the virtuoso Ansel Adams, Salgado brings black-and-white photography to a new dimension; the tonal variations in his works, the contrasts of light and dark, recall the works of Old Masters such as Rembrandt and Georges de La Tour. What does one discover in Genesis? The animal species and volcanoes of the Galu00e1pagos; penguins, sea lions, cormorants, and whales of the Antarctic and South Atlantic; Brazilian alligators and jaguars; African lions, leopards, and elephants; the isolated Zou2019u00e9 tribe deep in the Amazon jungle; the Stone Age Korowai people of West Papua; nomadic Dinka cattle farmers in Sudan; Nenet nomads and their reindeer herds in the Arctic Circle; Mentawai jungle communities on islands west of Sumatra; the icebergs of the Antarctic; the volcanoes of Central Africa and the Kamchatka Peninsula; Saharan deserts; the Negro and Juruu00e1 rivers in the Amazon; the ravines of the Grand Canyon; the glaciers of Alaska... and beyond. Having dedicated so much time, energy, and passion to the making of this work, Salgado likens Genesis to u201cmy love letter to the planet.u201d Whereas the limited Collectoru2019s Edition is conceived like a large-format portfolio that meanders across the planet, this unlimited book presents a selection of photographs arranged in five chapters geographically: Planet South, Sanctuaries, Africa, Northern Spaces, Amazonia and Pantanal. Each in its own way, this book and the Collectoru2019s editionu2014both edited and designed by Lu00e9lia Wanick Salgadou2014pay homage to Salgadou2019s triumphant and unparalleled Genesis project.The world premiere of Sebastiu00e3o Salgado: Genesis will open at the Natural History Museum in London on April 11, 2013. The exhibition builds on the Museumu2019s reputation as the home of the planetu2019s best nature photography.
