H2O. The Dead Sea. Rain. Acid rain. Heavy water. The Pacific, the
Atlantic, the Indian Ocean, the source of the Nile. A tap, and on
and on More than 1 billion people have insufficient water to
sustain life. The World Health Organisation has the figures. The
River Jordan, the Biblical epitome of water, is dying, like a man
with his throat cut, his blood seeping down a drain. In Water
Culture, Francesca Sorrenti of ske group, in collaboration with
Ocean Futures Society's Jean-Michel Cousteau, has collected a
kaleidoscope of the elemental qualities of water in a series of
photographs that are breathtaking to behold in their fantasy and
equilibrium. They chose the works of Mario Sorrenti, Nan Goldin,
Fabien Baron, Andres Gursky, Eugene Smith, and Boris Michailov,
among others, to represent this world. Against these extraordinary
images are set the records of the follies of mankind, the greed and
despair and ignorance of the source of life that will again leave a
bewildered albatross or a seal coated in oil by another Amoco Cadiz
that has spilt 250,000 tons of human degradation into the oceans.
