VA 10, Ep. 10 VA 10, Ep. 10 GENESIS; Are We the Salt of the Earth?

About this episode

Lina Cuartas concludes the season by discussing Sebastiáo Salgado's work GENESIS, exploring the wild places of the world and their inhabitants.

I conclude this season with the last project Sebastiáo Salgado dedicated 8 years of his life to create: GENESIS, a mature volume which offers a 360 degree view of the last places of the world that remain wild as well as some of their inhabitants. He travelled to remote locations and divided his opus into Planet South, Sanctuaries, Africa, Northern Spaces and finally, he explored his beloved Amazon and Pantanal in his native Brazil. His narrative is full of detail, just as arresting as his images, and I invite you to join our adventure. Genesis has been recognized as Salgado's most personal and optimistic work. Along with the documentary that celebrated his life, I dare ask: Are we the salt of the Earth?
