Theyre working and Living Conditions in what was then the Worlds Largest open gold deposit were appalling. The men more suspicious of outsiders but saw gado gained their trust. I spent 35 days and they need proof to speak i sleep with that i eat what they eat and it became then that means i would therefore they wanted to leave it there was this guy in that allowed me to do cedars off because. There was a lot of drinking and violence at the mine. Police were often called to the scene. The police for it was just that the head present that if the state if you are.

The 1st to the boulder see that they do control my life along 1971 the 1st time my wife told that come up to made the pictures of architecture because 2 wise students in architecture and visible in the. I took the 1st picture in my lap i looked through my view find that all fucked up but from this moment to everything the troll saw in my life and i started to discuss with my wife i had a proposition to goal to washington for a walk in the world but it that. For most we discuss i would be economies to have become a football over to them all that said the football for wins and we went back to start my life of football for in the. Other that i had to wait for the day the. Gano began with sports and wedding photos portraits. He got a family to support. His son giuliano who is today a filmmaker was born in 1974. Rodrigue 0 was born in 1979. So i got to realize that photography was his vocation while on assignment in africa as an economist. It was also then that his enduring fascination with the continent was born. Africa is a continent very close to mine a continent. You see. One who could be met by fall for a god and didnt back off if it began my 21. 00 to be out that just 11. 00 the 5th to meet only a psycho would just one place offer to go.

In the course of his career as our god who has traveled all over africa and completed some 40 proton grippy series there. In the mid 1980 s. He accompanied the Aid OrganizationDoctors Without Borders to the drought stricken so i have a region where famine and military conflict had turned thousands of people into refugees. He spent over a year in mali ethiopia chan and sudan documenting their suffering and their dignity. The experience ultimately inspired one of saigon his most seminal projects exodus. A searing account of exiles migrants and refugees. The photographer journey the world of documenting the desperate forced Mass Movement of people around the globe. Women in afghanistan. Migration to cities in india. And this man from former yugoslavia. As an exile from his own country so ive got a wide under fries with their plight. What does your biography mean for your photography. Is it important that you come from brazil is it to have the experience as a refugee to live in far way from home i was an activist to the lefties to. Bad octavius to i made them in a phrase on a stop. Is to get the economy social science ed that when they came out of was. It they that the become a photographer obese was inside to be obese is my head it paid and i mean could my photography we use is not that them an activist that im a social football for that i am. A fault the report is nothing this is because i love the job or because i photographed it what they told to that was import them politically. So see i live human and that what i love what i i. I so for me. My photography is my way of life as much. More than that you think that you cant abide track just my lot with you and i think theyll go to old you see youre the star that i need proof of. Time and time again as he travels through places devastated by crisis and war so i gotto comes across children. Often theyre looking for a new home often theyre looking for their parents always theyre the ones who suffer most theyre the subject of another series children. 1904 was another turning point for us i got on in rwanda he witnessed the aftermath of the genocide it was carnage millions of displaced people bodies heaped by the side of the road the stark evidence of what humans are capable of doing to another made him sick psychologically physically. So i got to return to his parents abandoned farm in the brazilian rain forest to his horror little remained of the lush landscape hed left behind. The trees e remembered were almost completely gone. His wife really a proposed to be able to land and replant the forest the couple founded the instituto terra and with the help of experts and local workers they replanted nearly 3000000 trees over the next 15 years. The restored forests include 290 different species while over 170 bird species of returned along with pumas and leopards. The land made a miraculous recovery. And so did sa gotto. But the rain forest is burning. Almost 500000 hectares were destroyed in august 29th dean many deliberately ignited to clear the forest for farming cattle ranching. What happens in numbers on is that especially in the west 50 s we destroy a lot of homicide we just saw a bolt of 19 per cent of the amazon in less than 15. Years and. That means the canonical model that you have before brazil for all the water is a proud that tart. Off economy is just the thought of a moderate just frightened of bucknell after that mr bush for not having a ball and lets see them look at the electorate is not the dick dictate of india but his position. Interaction of a months on earth is to destroy the trees to open a space for agriculture to open a space for the production of so you have been a soft meat to offer these things that if we are not you dont need more because because there was enough saw you for all of these. I believe that we must go together on this planet for the brazilians 1st shape brazils vaca by all the planet we must create a movement to stop destruction we must sustain it stop the movement to protect dizzying tribes in a monsoon and we have. About 116 i need you people in brazilian im a son in brazilian im a zone is very important book is about 65 percent of all im a zone it is in brazil all the zenger and so we have not to be protected we have about 183 groups off into them and so on and that they were never contact never they are us from 2000 years before 5000 years before they are indeed dunja to lose their forests to lose their way of life to be destroyed and discovered to be this is really a major disaster. God knows spend several months of the year in brazil. But they have no intention of returning for good. He spent 11 years. Away from brazil because it was not possible go back. Up the ship was that it had a lot of friends of what church that thought of such innate in brazil and hes staying for us when begin of the apes picked up the ship finish was supposed to go back and is wont to have our kids in france or have one child but that dost thou sing wrong and if rice choke to forehead pick up the kids in france are so good so well but bad that in brazil not that we take decision to stay because our son in the oil law of the frappes is a pawn to that to receive us so well we are also french and after that we started to split our lives between brazil and france in or out of that it had been. Suggested also gado returned to brazil to recover and to help the nature he grew up with recover. And also to document the vital importance of the Natural Environment ultimately this is what led him to what might be his most ambitious project ever his epic series genesis. The project looks a bust josiah gado 2 pristine corners of the world visiting indigenous tribes whose way of life is still traditional. Capturing human communities. Landscapes. And wildlife in his signature. Monochrome imagery. We have above the 1st finger we must be of no other person can be a foot of you must have a play for the big players before the graf to be there to walk with delight walk all the plans or decomposition photography is a start to go in that quite respectable language and you must have a piece in the you must. The place to be. So shuffled off the people pee wee people that there is stars but to beat that. An enormous amount of preparation goes into his trips he spends months researching and planning his roots these days he takes an assistant with him. His son giuliano is also accompanied him filming his father at work. Together they visited wrangle island in siberia as arctic ocean course it must use a gun to photograph the walrus breeding ground. Its bitterly cold here the walrus is after be approached cautiously been there might be polar bears on the prowl. But sun gotto is undeterred by danger. Watching the photographer at work its clear how much thought goes into his pictures. The perfection of his compositions doesnt happen by chance. Its a german film director been venders conducted extensive interviews with sa gado. He just opposed their conversations with julian knows footage and star got those photographs to make the biographical documentary the salt of the earth. Released in 2014 it garnered a number of awards and helped bring the work of sebastiaan sagar over to a wider public. Business. I was especially fascinated by how much he knows about the places he goes to. He amasses himself in his subjects hes not a tourist not a visitor to this he doesnt just show up and start taking pictures. He spends weeks and months there getting to know the people that is with this approach he sort of and his right to tell their stories and the. Wind in the hands of the you know wherever he goes god treats his subjects with utmost respect nature people their traditions and culture like here in Papua New Guinea where he photographed indigenous tribes whose traditions are endangered. The of. The semester also yarrow has explored the depths of what mankind can do. But he remains an optimist hopeful that the world can change for the better. You never lose your abilities you see i do not lose it. I dont lose it also might energy and. No no no no see the human animal. Is a Political Animal we are all polluted. We had an old horse and weve decided that we are the most important for all while suma easts 2 feet so he died at the End Community n ds we told him that he sees my foot on the at. Whats happening thats in my life it was no said the boy a geek is up the same thing again. You take a photo in a fraction of a 2nd sagar was sad but you need time to arrive there. Time commitment experience and internet curiosity. Some critics have said that he has status size is suffering but his pictures are too beautiful. So i gotto says he simply chronicles what he sees. Firefighters battling an inferno in kuwaits oil fields. Men blinded by gold fever. Risking their lives. If it were. A photographer from sweden from german a pro cross. I had another view off the planet that was a viewer looking from here to solve for the planet 44 but i born in brazil you when i show depict this like this one. Its not the to provoke a conflict in the course sets off in the water its a motion on the side of my side that will. In a career that spanned 50 years as a best year also gotto has found beauty and barbarity and shown us a world in which much has been lost but where much can still be saved a message to future generations. But he sees what he does as a dying craft for having one. Begin that visit misunderstanding about football but its what are we out of doing that weve descended from is not photography. Is the new language of communication that person made the decision to communicate send the ball not the end it knows the desire is not in bought them for then take a huge amount off because. The way to dance. To someone is one they cherish telephoned they lose dispy. Photography is another photography is the memory you see when your father or mother take a picture off you wonder what a babe in a went to the bone of the city to develop if you made the does mo album and to speak to is eli that photograph that the brain to that the beaches tell these stories that is really the memory of a society difficult to freeze is the mito of the society is a very recent way of communication photography has how many is a little bit more than a that the in photography most probably would disappear is not there shame it is like you do that that the history of. His passion and commitment are unparalleled. For his most recent project he spent years in the amazon working on a series of images sent to be published in 2021. Talking to us about your also gado and contemplating his extraordinary images it seems impossible that photography well that would disappear. He is indeed compiling our memories. Come. Back and.
