AMAZONIA, this new exhibition at the Science Museum, explores the recent work of the celebrated Brazilian photographer Sebastiao Salgado.
It runs from October 13 to March 2022, and features over 200 images, highlighting the unparalleled beauty of this vast region and the critical importance of protecting it. In May 2022, it will travel to the Science Museum in Manchester.
All the images are in black and white, and characterised by Salgado’s amazing ability to capture reality in intense, highly contrasting tones, lending a unique graphic quality and a sense of awe to his iconic images.
