The exhibition brings together two remarkable, distinct bodies of photography to highlight the plight of the Amazonian rainforest and the people living within it.
Sebastião Salgado presents previously unseen work from his ongoing photographic essay ‘Genesis’ – that portrays landscapes in their most pristine state, and the communities still living in them, according to ancient traditions in balance with nature. Through these epic and evocative images, visitors to the exhibition are taken on a journey through environments.
Amazon is open daily from 10am to 6pm until 4th December 2011 at the East Wing Galleries, Somerset House, Strand, London WC2.
Admission is free.
