Abstract
Quote from the burp:
" (...) Parvatie Nair offers detailed analyses of Salgado's best-known photo-essays, including Workers (1993) and Migrations (2000) as well as Genisis, which he began in 2004 (...) Interpreting the photographer's oeuvre, Nair engages broad questions about aesthetics, history, ethics and politics in documentary photography. At the same time she draws on conversations with Salgado and Lélia Wanick Salgado, his wife and partner, to illuminate the photographer's thought, artistic method, and life history, including his roots in Brazil and training as an economist. Underpinning all of Salgado's major project is a concern with displacement, exploitation, and destruction - of people, communities, and land. His images exalt reality, compelling viewers to look, and, according to Nair, to envision the world otherwise.
