The GENESIS project, along with the Salgados’ Instituto Terra, are dedicated to showing the beauty of our planet, reversing the damage done to it, and preserving it for the future.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t \u003cbr\u003e\n\tOn over 30 trips – traveled on foot, by light aircraft, seagoing vessels, canoes, and even balloons, through extreme heat and cold and in sometimes dangerous conditions – Salgado created a collection of images showing us nature, animals, and indigenous peoples in such shocking and intense beauty it takes our breath away. In GENESIS, one discovers the animal species and volcanoes of the Galápagos; the penguins, sea lions, cormorants, and whales of the South Atlantic; Brazilian alligators and jaguars; and African lions, leopards, and elephants. Through Salgado’s lens, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t \u003cbr\u003e\n\tThis Collector’s Edition, designed and edited by Lélia Wanick Salgado, features exquisitely reproduced large-format images arranged not by theme or region but rather conceived as a portfolio that takes beholders on a journey around the globe, immersing them in Salgado’s vision of the Earth’s mesmerizing scale, order, and beauty.\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCollector’s Edition limited to 2,500 copies (No. 501-3,000), numbered and signed by Sebastião Salgado\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConceived, edited and designed by Lélia Wanick Salgado\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo volumes bound in quarter-leather and cloth\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSUMO size: 46.8 x 70 cm (18.4 x 27.6 in.)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComes with a book stand in cherry wood veneer \u003cstrong\u003edesigned by Tadao Ando\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso included is a cloth-bound caption book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivered in a wooden cargo box (total weight: 59 kg [130 lb])\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: block;\"\u003e\n\t\u003cstrong\u003eAlso available in 5 Art Editions each limited to 100 copies.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sebastião Salgado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48295530397947,"sku":"9783836543729","price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/sebastiao-salgado-genesis-9783836543729","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
