Sebastião Salgado – Glaciers
150,00 ₾This majestic photography collection captures the great glaciers of the world as ancient yet fragile monuments in an age of extreme climate change.
In this arresting visual study, Sebastião Salgado offers stunning imagery of some of the planet’s most remote and ice-bound regions. From the ice fields of Patagonia and the peaks of the Himalayas to the vast shelves of Antarctica and the volcanic flanks of Kamchatka, these images record the forms, textures, and scale of glacial landscapes around the world.
Shot in Salgado’s iconic large-format, black-and-white style, the photographs emphasize the physical presence of ice — its ridges, fractures, density, and drift. Light and shadow reveal the structural complexity of each scene, from massive crevasses to the delicate patterns of recently fallen, wind-swept snow.
An accompanying essay by climate scientist Elisa Palazzi examines the science of glacier formation, transformation, and decline.
The late pioneering, legendary photographer brings together 65 stark duotone images.
Salgado’s classic large format photographs highlight the epic size of nature’s icy monoliths.
Poignant for recognising Salgado’s legacy but also the landscapes he caught frozen in time.
Exquisitely printed and designed to elevate the stunning stark photographs to new heights.
The essay reflects not only on the lifecycle of glaciers but our rapidly changing climate.
One of Salgado’s last published books during his lifetime offers a focused, enduring portrait of the world’s glaciers at a critical moment in their history.
Another Kind of Life
100,00 ₾Filled with compelling images from revered photographers of the past and present, this book sheds light on marginalized communities who have traditionally shied away from the camera.
At a time when individual rights are being contested and when those on the fringes of society feel deeply threatened, this powerful photographic compilation delivers a message of humanity and inclusiveness that transcends geopolitical and cultural boundaries. Works by critically acclaimed photographers including Bruce Davidson, Paz Errazuriz, Jim Goldberg, Danny Lyon, Mary Ellen Mark, Boris Mikhailov, Daido Moriyama, and Dayanita Singh cast a compassionate, unflinching eye on the worlds inhabited by transsexuals, hookers, hustlers, bikers, junkies, circus performers, gang members, survivalists, petty criminals, and others who live in the shadows, on the streets, and out of the public eye. Grouped by photographer and ranging in genre from portraiture to photojournalism, these images were selected for their authentic and humane perspective, as well as for their artistic brilliance. An important testament to photography’s power to both expose injustice and provide affirmation for those outside the norm, this collection bears witness to the ways social attitudes change across time and space, and how visual representation can promote understanding and dialogue.
Print is Dead, Long Live Print
