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.
