It is an amazing exhibition. Beautiful Pictures from places and people around the world. Nice to have see it during the press lunch. I haven´t words to describe this exhibition. It is better you go to Fotografiska to see it from september 20th.
New Exhibition at Fotografiska in Stockholm: Homage to Humanity by Dutch-British photographer Jimmy Nelson.
Photographer Jimmy Nelson
For over 30 years, Dutch-British photographer Jimmy Nelson has visited and photographed iconic cultures all across our planet. From the Siberian tundra to the coral islands of the Pacific, he has, with heartfelt curiosity, warmth and respect, contacted and met indigenous peoples who live in close symbiosis with nature. And the message Nelson conveys is that we have so much to learn from them: We must embrace the knowledge of those who live in the most beautiful and isolated places on Earth and ensure that their cultures survive.“We must both photographthem before they’re gone, and fight to prevent this from happening. Every tribe possesses a unique story in its capacity to symbiotically live together with wildlife and nature, a skill that has sometimes taken millennia to evolve. And they will soon disappear if we don’t make a concerted effort, and when they disappear our roots will disappear along with them,” says Nelson.
