Eye on Africa: Thirty years of Africa images, selected by Salgado
himself Sebasti?o Salgado is one the most respected
photojournalists working today, his reputation forged by decades of
dedication and powerful black and white images of dispossessed and
distressed people taken in places where most wouldn?t dare to go.
Although he has photographed throughout South America and around
the globe, his work most heavily concentrates on Africa, where he
has shot more than 40 reportage works over a period of 30 years.
From the Dinka tribes in Sudan and the Himba in Namibia to gorillas
and volcanoes in the lakes region to displaced peoples throughout
the continent, Salgado shows us all facets of African life today.
Whether he's documenting refugees or vast landscapes, Salgado knows
exactly how to grab the essence of a moment so that when one sees
his images one is involuntarily drawn into them. His images
artfully teach us the disastrous effects of war, poverty, disease,
and hostile climatic conditions. This book brings together
Salgado's photos of Africa in three parts. The first concentrates
on the southern part of the continent (Mozambique, Malawi, Angola,
Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia), the second on the Great Lakes
region (Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya), and the
third on the Sub-Saharan region (Burkina Faso, Mali, Sudan,
Somalia, Chad, Mauritania, Senegal, Ethiopia). Texts are provided
by renowned Mozambique novelist Mia Couto, who describes how
today's Africa reflects the effects of colonization as well as the
consequences of economic, social, and environmental crises. This
stunning book is not only a sweeping document of Africa but an
homage to the continent's history, people, and natural phenomena.
