About Sebastião Salgado:
Sebastião Salgado (*1944) is one of the most important documentary photographers of our time. With his camera, he tells visual stories about people, nature, and global connections. His work “GENESIS” is the result of over eight years of intensive travel to the last untouched regions of the Earth. Supported by the Instituto Terra, which he co-founded, Salgado actively commits to the rewilding and preservation of the planet.

Design meets architecture: the book stand by Tadao Ando:
Tadao Ando is one of the world’s most renowned architects, known for his minimalist masterpieces and winner of the four most important architecture awards (Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize). For TASCHEN, he designed this elegant book stand in cherry veneer that perfectly highlights the SUMO format.

The print – Two Mursi women, Omo Valley, Ethiopia
An intense, timeless moment of two Mursi women from Ethiopia, captured by Salgado in 2007. The signed gelatin silver print bears witness to the cultural dignity and Salgado’s photographic brilliance. This motif is an exclusive part of the edition and was created under the artist’s supervision.

A visual manifesto for the planet: epic, exclusive, iconic. This art edition combines documentary depth, masterful photography, and exceptional design.
