women in afghanistan. migration to cities in india. and this man from former yugoslavia. as an exile from his own country so i gotto identifies with their plight. what does your biography mean for your photography. is it important that you come from brazil as if you have experience as a refugee live in far way from home i was an octave east of politics leftist a young bad octavius to i'm a demented grades on a stop. is to get in a court of a social science ed that when they came out of this is. the day that the become of photography oh gees what's inside that being obese is my head it fades

and i think of my photography. is not that them an activist that they must social football that they have. fought to recall just that they got these is because i love photography because that i photographed it what they told to that was important politically. so see i look human and that what i love what i i. i so for me. my photography is my way of life is much more than that to think that through that i try just my languages and i think they'll go to the old you see or the star that i need to prove for. time and time again as he travels through places devastated by crisis and war so i gotto comes across children often they're looking for a new home often they're looking for their parents always they're the ones who suffer most they're the subject of another series children.

1904 was another turning point for us i got home in rwanda he witnessed the aftermath of the genocide it was carnage millions of displaced people bodies heaped by the side of the road the stark evidence of what humans are capable of doing to another made him sick psychologically physically. so i got to return to his parents abandoned farm in the brazilian rain forest to his horror little remained of the lush landscape he had left behind. the trees he remembered were almost completely gone. his wife an alien a proposed to be healed the land and replant the forest the couple founded the instituto tantra and with the help of experts and local workers they replanted nearly 3000000 trees over the next 15 years.

the restored forests include 290 different species while over 170 bird species are returned along with tumors and leopards. and made a miraculous recovery. and so did some god oh. but the rain forest the spurning almost 500000 hectares were destroyed in august 29th dean many deliberately ignited to clear the forest for farming and cattle ranching.

what happens in the muscle and is that especially in the west 50 s we destroy a lot of homicide we destroy a lot of the 19th cent of the amazon in less than 50. metres and. that means long model that to have before brazil for all the war is a proud that part. off economy is to spread the thought of that to destroy it about bucknell after that mr bush for not having to follow and go through them look at the electorate is not the dick that dictates india but his position. interaction of hormones on earth is to destroy the trees to open

a space for agriculture to open a space for the production of so you have been a soft meat to offer these things that it reality you don't need more because because it was enough saw your photo days. i believe that we must all together on this planet the brazilians the 1st ship brazilians back by all the planet we must create a movement to stop this destruction we must sustain to stop the movement to protect these zenon tribes in them and so on it we have. about 169 in 2 people in brazilian i'm a son in brazil animals one is an important book is about 65 percent of all i'm a zone it is in brazil all these emergency we have to be protected we have

about 183 groups off into them and so on and that they were never contact never they are ass from 2000 years before 5000 years before they are indeed dunja to lose their forests to do so that their way of life to be destroyed and discovered to be this is really a major disaster. god knows spend several months of the year in brazil. but they have no intention of returning for good. we spent 11 years. away from brasil because it was not possible go back. dick that the ship was about to die off or had a lot of friends of what culture that brought us us in 8 in brazil and he's staying for us in begin of the aches picked up the ship finish was supposed to go back and

is wont to have our kids in france or have one child with the dos down's syndrome and if race jokes were quite handicap to kids in france a so good so well but bad that in brazil not that we take a decision to stay because our son and we love the frappes is a culture that to receive us so well we are also french and that after that we started to split our lives between brazil and france in or out of that i had proof of the. best yasar gado returned to brazil to recover and to help the nature he grew up with recover. and also to document the vital importance of the natural environment ultimately this is what led him to what might be his most ambitious project ever his epic series genesis.

the project looks a bust joe so got over to pristine corners of the world visiting indigenous tribes whose way of life is still traditional. capturing human communities. landscapes. and wildlife in his signature. wisit monochrome dimension. the rear foot of the 1st finger we must be a foot off know of a bus and can be a foot off you must have a place for the big players of the photograph to be there. to.

walk with the light fork all the plants with the composition photography is a step that quite dictates that school run out and he wants to have a base and you must have. the place to be. so shuffled off the people play with people that there is stars but to beat the week that. an enormous amount of preparation goes into his trips he spends months researching and planning his routes. these days he takes an assistant with him. his son giuliano is also accompanied him filming his father at work. together they visited wrangel island in siberia his arctic ocean course it must use a god old photograph the walrus breeding ground. it's bitterly cold here the

wall resents to be approached cautiously been there might be polar bears on the prowl. but sun gotto is undeterred by danger. watching the photographer at work it's clear how much thought goes into his pictures. the perfection of his compositions doesn't happen by chance.

this is the german film director been venders conducted extensive interviews. gado . you juxtaposed their conversations with julian knows footage and star got those photographs to make the biographical documentary the salt of the earth. released in 2014 it garnered a number of awards and helped bring the work of sebastiaan saga over to a wider public. business. i was especially fascinated by how much he knows about the places he goes to. he amasses himself in his some generals. he's not a tourist not a visitor to this he doesn't just show up and start taking pictures of. he spends weeks and months there getting to know the people. with this approach he

sort of and his right to tell their stories and that one day in a tense. wherever he goes or god treats his subjects with utmost respect. nature people their traditions and culture back here in papua new guinea where he photographed indigenous tribes those traditions are endangered. for. the semester also gado as explored the depths of what mankind can do. but he remains an optimist hopeful that the world can change for the better if you never lose your rebellions you see i do not lose it. i don't lose it also might energy and. no no no to see

the human animal. is a political animal we are all going to teach an. old course and we've decided that we are the most important for a while summa nice to feel worse so he died at the end community and he is we are whole in that he sees my foot over the head of the. what's happening that is my life if was not said the boy a gig is up the same thing again. you take a photo in a fraction of a 2nd saw gotto is sad but you need time to arrive there. time commitment experience and internet curiosity. some critics have said that he aesthetics size is suffering but his pictures are

too beautiful. so i gotto says he simply chronicles what he sees. firefighters battling an inferno in kuwait's oil fields. men blinded by gold fever. risking their lives. if you were at. a photographer for food in front of my necro cross. i had the not that view. off the planet there was a viewer looking from here to solve for the planet for the poor but i born in brazil when i showed a pic this like this one. it's not the to provoke a conflict in the course sets off the one this one show on the side of my side off

the wall. in a career that spanned 50 years as a best yasar gotto has found beauty and barbarity and shown us a world in which much has been lost but where much can still be saved a message to future generations. but he sees what he does as a dying craft for having one. being that visit isn't a stand about football but it's what are we out of doing that we see the cell phone is not photography. is a new language of communication that person made the decision to communicate send that one either in the news a design is not important for them take a huge amount off because. delay to dan to someone is one they cherish telephoned they lose do speak to. photography is another photography is the

memory you see when your father or mother take a picture off you wonder what a babe in a went to the bone of the city to develop the fuel made the disney mold album and to speak to is eli that photograph that to bring to that the beach just tell these stories that is really the memory of a society the photography is to me though of to society that is a very recent way of communication photography has how many years a little bit more than one and that the in photography most probably disappear is not the shame it is like to do that that that is sort of. his passion and commitment. to our own barrel out. for his most recent project he spent years in the amazon working on a series of images set to be published in 2021. talking to sebastiano salgado and contemplating his extraordinary images it seems impossible

that photography will ever disappear. he is indeed compiling our memories.
