Sebastiao Salgado. Amazônia. 45th Ed.

Over a span of six years, Sebastião Salgado embarked on a journey through the Brazilian Amazon, capturing its unique beauty through his camera lens. This extraordinary region, home to vast forests, majestic rivers, towering mountains, and vibrant communities, represents a priceless heritage for humanity. Salgado portrayed the Amazon as "the last frontier, a place of mystery and unique existence, where nature's formidable force is unparalleled anywhere else on earth. This is a forest that extends seemingly without end, harboring a tenth of the world’s plant and animal species and serving as the most significant natural laboratory on the planet." During his travels, he engaged with numerous indigenous groups residing in small, scattered settlements within this massive tropical rainforest. Salgado's photographs vividly illustrate the everyday lives of tribes such as the Yanomami, Asháninka, Yawanawá, Suruwahá, Zo’é, Kuikuro, Waurá, Kamayurá, Korubo, Marubo, Awá, and Macuxi. His work captures their strong familial connections, their practices of hunting and fishing, the communal preparation and enjoyment of their meals, and their incredible artistic capabilities.
