Earth eternal A photographic homage to our planet in its natural state “In GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.” —Sebasti?o Salgado On a very fortuitous day in 1970, 26-year-old Sebasti?o Salgado held a camera for the first time. When he looked through the viewfinder, he experienced a revelation: suddenly life made sense. From that day onward—though it took years of hard work before he had the experience to earn his living as a photographer—the camera became his tool for interacting with the world. Salgado, who “always preferred the chiaroscuro palette of black-and-white images,” shot very little color in his early career before giving it up completely. Raised on a farm in Brazil, Salgado possessed a deep love and respect for nature; he was also particularly sensitive to the ways in which human beings are affected by their often devastating socio-economic conditions. Of the myriad works Salgado has produced in his acclaimed career, three long-term projects stand out: Workers (1993), documenting the vanishing way of life of manual laborers across the world, Migrations (2000), a tribute to mass migration driven by hunger, natural disasters, environmental degradation and demographic pressure, and this new opus, GENESIS, the result of an epic eight-year expedition to rediscover the mountains, deserts and oceans, the animals and peoples that have so far escaped the imprint of modern society—the land and life of a still-pristine planet. “Some 46% of the planet is still as it was in the time of genesis,” Salgado reminds us. “We must preserve what exists.” The GENESIS project, along with the Salgados’ Instituto Terra, are dedicated to showing the beauty of our planet, reversing the damage done to it, and preserving it for the future. Over 30 trips—travelled by foot, light aircraft, seagoing vessels, canoes, and even balloons, through extreme heat and cold and in sometimes dangerous conditions—Salgado created a collection of images showing us nature, animals, and indigenous peoples in breathtaking beauty. Mastering the monochrome with an extreme deftness to rival the virtuoso Ansel Adams, Salgado brings black-and-white photography to a new dimension; the tonal variations in his works, the contrasts of light and dark, recall the works of Old Masters such as Rembrandt and Georges de La Tour. What does one discover in GENESIS? The animal species and volcanoes of the Galápagos; penguins, sea lions, cormorants, and whales of the Antarctic and South Atlantic; Brazilian alligators and jaguars; African lions, leopards, and elephants; the isolated Zo’é tribe deep in the 阿马逊 jungle; the Stone Age Korowai people of West Papua; nomadic Dinka cattle farmers in Sudan; Nenet nomads and their reindeer herds in the Arctic Circle; Mentawai jungle communities on islands west of Sumatra; the icebergs of the Antarctic; the volcanoes of Central Africa and the Kamchatka Peninsula; Saharan deserts; the Negro and Juruá rivers in the 阿马逊; the ravines of the Grand Canyon; the glaciers of Alaska... and beyond. Having dedicated so much time, energy, and passion to the making of this work, Salgado likens GENESIS to “my love letter to the planet.” Whereas the limited Collector’s Edition is conceived like a large-format portfolio that meanders across the planet, this unlimited book presents a selection of photographs arranged in five chapters geographically: Planet South, Sanctuaries, Africa, Northern Spaces, 阿马逊ia and Pantanal. Each in its own way, this book and the Collector’s edition—both edited and designed by Lélia Wanick Salgado—pay homage to Salgado’s triumphant and unparalleled GENESIS project.

用户评价
这部摄影集的装帧设计简直是一次视觉的盛宴，光是捧在手里就已经能感受到那种沉甸甸的、对艺术的敬意。纸张的选择非常考究，厚实而富有质感，尤其是那些大幅面的黑白照片，印制出来的层次感和灰阶过渡细腻得令人屏息。在光线充足的条件下细细摩挲那些影纹，你会发现，萨尔加多是如何精确地捕捉了光影的魔力，让那些看似静止的画面充满了生命的张力。我个人特别欣赏它在细节处理上的坚持，即便是最微小的纹理，比如风吹过岩石留下的痕迹，或是动物皮毛上每一根毛发的走向，都被忠实地记录下来，那种近乎雕塑般的清晰度，让人感觉自己仿佛能触摸到画面中的每一个元素。这本书的开本非常大气，使得那些宏伟的景观得以充分展现，没有丝毫的局促感，真正达到了将艺术品请进家中的体验。毫不夸张地说，光是翻阅这本书的实体，就是一次对摄影工艺和物质美学的深度致敬。
评分让我印象极其深刻的是，这位摄影师对于“人性与环境的关联”的表达是如此的克制而有力。他没有用煽情的手法去控诉或赞美，而是用一种近乎人类学家般的冷静视角，去记录下那些人类在地球上留下的、最基本的存在痕迹。那些人物肖像，尤其震撼人心，他们的眼神中包含了比任何语言都丰富的历史信息和生命智慧，仿佛一个个活着的纪念碑。你不得不思考，在现代文明的巨大光环之下，我们究竟遗失了多少与大地最原始的连接？这种对比带来的冲击感是持续的，它迫使我重新审视自己在这个星球上的位置，以及我们对周遭环境所应负的责任。这种内省的驱动力，远超一般摄影画册所能提供的范畴。
评分从艺术史的角度来看，这部作品无疑是黑白摄影语言发展历程中的一座里程碑。萨尔加多对于构图的精妙把握，已经超越了单纯的记录范畴，达到了近乎古典绘画的完美平衡感。他似乎深谙如何利用对角线、黄金分割以及景深的变化，来引导观者的视线，让眼睛在广袤的画面中找到安定的锚点。那些光影的运用，简直是教科书级别的示范，他能够将最刺眼的阳光或最深沉的阴影，转化为具有雕塑感的形态，使二维的平面图像拥有了三维的体积感。对于任何一个致力于学习摄影或者热爱视觉艺术的人来说，这本书都是一本不可或缺的、可以反复揣摩的“视觉语法”范本。
评分阅读这本书的过程，与其说是“看照片”，不如说是一次漫长而深沉的精神远足。它不是那种快餐式的视觉刺激，而是需要你慢下来，用一种近乎冥想的状态去与之对话。每一组照片似乎都在探讨着“存在”的本质，那种对原始、未被驯服的世界的敬畏感，是当代都市生活里极其稀缺的精神营养。当你沉浸其中，那些远古的冰川、荒芜的沙漠、以及那些与自然共生的古老部落，仿佛都在无声地诉说着时间洪流下的脆弱与坚韧。这种叙事的力量，是通过图像本身而非文字来完成的，它要求观者主动去填补那些未言明的情感和哲思，每一次重读都会有新的感悟浮现，仿佛你与这位大师共同经历了一场史诗般的探险，心灵被彻底涤荡了一遍。
评分坦白说，最初购买这本书是出于对这位传奇摄影师的追随和好奇，但真正开始欣赏后，我发现它更像是一个关于“地球生命力”的百科全书式注解。它不仅仅记录了那些壮丽的自然景观，更重要的是，它捕捉到了生命在极端环境下的适应和繁衍的顽强意志。那些看似单调的岩石、冰块，在经过他的镜头捕捉后，都展现出惊人的生命力脉络，仿佛能听到地壳运动的声音，感受到水流的侵蚀力量。这是一种对“时间尺度”的视觉呈现，让我们得以窥见地球在亿万年尺度上所经历的沧桑剧变，这种宏大的视角让人类自身的烦恼显得微不足道，却也同时凸显了当下保护这份遗产的迫切性。
