Some of Nick Brandt’s subjects are humans, some are animals, but
they all are creatures of equal and obvious personhood. The
overwhelming sense in the photographer’s ongoing global series
The Day May Break is that they are all figuring out how to live in
a new world. Each has arrived at the shoot at Senda Verde wildlife
sanctuary in Bolivia through their own cascade of tragedy. Both
extreme droughts and floods have destroyed people’s homes and
livelihoods. Victims of habitat destruction and wildlife
trafficking, the animals are rescues that can never be released to
the wild. People and animals were photographed in the same frame
and indeed convey a sense of connectedness through a shared fate.
Fog is the unifying visual, symbolic of the natural world rapidly
fading from view; and an echo of the smoke from wildfires,
intensified by climate change, devastating so much of the planet.
But in spite of their loss, these people and animals are survivors,
pioneers entering the new phase our world has reached. In The Day
May Break they share their powerful stories.
