"In Genesis, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen." Sebastiao Salgado On a very fortuitous day in 1970, 26-year-old Sebastião 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 onward - though it took years of hard work before he had the experience to earn his living as a photographer - the camera became his tool for interacting with the world. Salgado, who "always preferred the chiaroscuro palette of black-and-white images," shot very little color in his early ... |

A new edition of the classic and timely record of refugees and migrants on the move. ... It has been almost a generation since Sebastiao Salgado first published Exodus but the story it tells, of fraught human movement around the globe, has changed little in 16 years. The push and pull factors may shift, the nexus of conflict relocates from Rwanda to Syria, but the people who leave their homes tell the same tale: deprivation, hardship, and glimmers of hope, plotted along a journey of great psychological, as well as physical, toil. Salgado spent six years with migrant peoples, visiting more than 35 countries to document ... |

Писана непосредствено след пандемията и в сянката на две войни, стихосбирката Черно хайку фокусира върху крехкостта на всяка даденост, пукнатините в сигурността и предателствата на навика, слепите петна на теорията и паническото отстъпление на логиката, терора на тленността и неизчерпаемите илюзионистки способности да заблуждаваме себе си. Изследва отново и настоятелно реалността вътре и извън нас, търсейки поетична динамика в сухата информация и метафорична стойност в енциклопедичния факт, черпейки от трагизма на новините и проблясъците на ежедневието. Времето във всичките му превъплъщения - геологично, историческо, ... |
