The Library Essay
The Earth Before Footprints
After decades photographing labour, famine and exodus, Sebastião Salgado turned his camera on what remains unwounded. Genesis took eight years and some thirty journeys, to the Galápagos and the Sanctuary of glaciers, to Siberian herders, desert ranges and the peoples still living as their ancestors did, in search of the landscapes and communities the modern world has not yet reorganised.
The result, edited and designed by Lélia Wanick Salgado and published by Taschen in 2013, is his tenderest work, the famous black and white turned from witness of suffering to inventory of what survives. Salgado has described the project as a love letter to the planet, and it reads as one written by a man who had earned the right to send it.
