Description: Sebasti o Salgado's masterpiece Genesis is 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 society the land and life of a still pristine planet. The Genesis project along with the Salgados Instituto Terra is dedicated to showing the beauty of our planet reversing the damage done to it and preserving it for the future. On over 30 trips by foot light aircraft boats canoes and even balloons through extreme temperatures and in sometimes dangerous conditions Salgado has created a collection of images showing us nature animals and indigenous peoples in such intense beauty it takes our breath away. The reach is truly global. Through Salgado's lens one discovers the animal species and volcanoes of the Gal pagos; the penguins sea lions cormorants and whales of the South Atlantic; Brazilian alligators and jaguars; and African lions leopards and elephants. We travel over icebergs in the Antarctic the volcanoes of Central Africa the ravines of the Grand Canyon and the glaciers of Alaska. We encounter the Stone Age Korowai people of West Papua nomadic Dinka cattle farmers in Sudan Nenets and their reindeer herds in the Arctic Circle as well as the Mentawai jungle communities on islands west of Sumatra. In characteristic monochrome Salgado's painterly notes are perfectly tuned to these sublime scenes capturing sweeping aerial panoramas as much as the most intricate details and textures from a reptilian skin to the fur coat of the Nenet people of northern Siberia. The exquisitely reproduced images are arranged not by theme but rather conceived as a journey around the globe immersing them in Salgado's vision of the Earth's mesmerizing scale order and beauty. Instituto TERR a Founded in 1998 at Aimor's in the state of Minas Gerais Instituto Terra is the culmination of L lia Wanick Salgado and Sebasti o Salgado's lifelong activism and work as cultural documentarians. Through a scientific program of planting and raising saplings the organization has performed a miraculous reforestation of the once infertile region and furthered the Salgados mission of reversing the damage done to our planet. Taschen is proud to reach carbon zero status through our continued partnership.
