Description

Published by TASCHEN and edited by Lélia Wanick Salgado, this 528-page tome is a monumental photographic document. It features breathtaking aerial views of “flying rivers” and intimate portraits of tribes like the Zo’é and Korubo. Salgado’s high-contrast black-and-white photography elevates the documentation of the Amazon into a profound artistic and political statement. The book is dedicated to the indigenous peoples of Brazil, carrying Salgado’s fervent hope that it will not become a record of a “lost world.” It is an essential masterpiece for any serious collection of 21st-century photography.

Sebastião Salgado's new book: Amazônia

Sebastião Salgado’s new book, Amazônia, showcases a 20-year photographic journey through the South American rainforest. Using his signature black and white style, Salgado captures stunning images of the Amazon’s landscapes and indigenous tribes, some of which have remained largely isolated. The book combines documentary photography with formal portraits and aerial views, supported by detailed text about the tribes’ cultures and challenges. Salgado worked closely with the National Indian Foundation (FUNAI) to ensure respectful access and protection for the communities depicted. The publication aims to highlight the importance of conservation and the preservation of these indigenous peoples and their environment. Read Article
