Off the story in my pictures a little bit off just moments ago i think. So rusty 00 gado has a distinctive unique way of seeing the world you know all its beauty and brutality. His work has been exhibited internationally collected in numerous books and hes also been the subject of an acclaimed documentary film. At the 29 Team Frankfurt book fair the brazilian for tango for was awarded the peace prize of a german book trade. Center encounters with the legendary photojournalists are. Bust your own so god will. Have the guts to to see so many things of whats a paid consultant that made my life that it reach all if was intercepted i would like to say like its. Been 2900 photographs museum in stockholm hosted the exhibition gold curated by sir god knows why. You features the iconic photographs as our guide who took in the syrup are not a gold mine in brazil in 1986 over 30 years ago black and white they have a timeless almost biblical quality. Gripped by gold fever more than 50000. 00 young men toiled in the mine 70 metres below ground usually caked in mud. Theyre working and Living Conditions at what was then the Worlds Largest open gold deposit were appalling. The men more suspicious of outsiders but saw gado gain their trust. I spent 5 days and they me if this be i sleep with that i eat what they eat and i became then that means i would therefore they wanted to leave it with this guy and that allowed me to do seeders off because. There was a lot of drinking and violence at the mine. Police were often called to the scene. The policeman was just at the head present that if the state if you are. The walker is holding the kind of off the rifle but the poorest man has a gun in the other and we have to finger prick test it for shot it walk here it will not happen. But some times they fire. In the middle of the rain forest. Where they became active left wing politics opposing the repressive military dictatorship that had come to power and. Their friends disappeared some were tortured murdered. In 1969 the couple fled to paris so god who began working for International Aid projects but then one day they came home with a camera and his life changed. The 1st daughter see that they too can mold my life along 1971 the 1st time my wife told the camera to made the pictures of architecture because to why students in architecture in dismal end. I took the 1st picture in my life i look through all of you find out all fucked up but from this moment to everything that transformed my life and i started to discuss with my wife i had the proposition the goal the washington will walk in the world above it that. For most we discuss i would be economies to have become a football to devolve that said the football for womens and we went back to buy a place that my life of the dog food and. Of that i had to wait for theyd be. Gone or 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. Roderigo was born in 1979. So i got to realize that photography was his vocation while on assignment in africa as an economist he was also then that his enduring fascination with the continent was born. In africa is a continent very close to mine a continent. You see. When you look at the map of africa and in that poll for a city if it began much you want to be at that. Just a 150 meter nias i go read just one place off i go. Thats in america on talk up and plus between the. Good the 0. 78 to be a no good 90. Meanings of offer he goes to bristol in a moment to have more black population brazuca indian or. White to quote the gays the people of brazil and the infamous all 5 of us spied to be that means when they go walking up at the ball in for me off is do most sophisticated of the old continent we have before to deflate into it that we have a us 5 us human being nice nice call sophisticated sophistication coaches language and aspects of human aspect of racist in the us for us the fisa could point to a few weeks off and case a day is filed by law but. In the course of his career is our god who has traveled all over africa and completed some 40 for dungarpur series there. In the mid 1980 s. He accompanied the Aid OrganizationDoctors Without Borders to the drought stricken sigh as a region where famine and military conflict had turned thousands of people into refugees. He spent over a year in mali ethiopia chad and sudan documenting their suffering and their dignity. The experience ultimately inspired one of sagar whose most seminal projects exodus. A searing account of exiles migrants and refugees. Were the photographer journeyed the world to document. Doing the desperate forced Mass Movement of people around the globe. Women in afghanistan. Migration to city you soon india. And this man from former yugoslavia. As an exile from his own country so ive got a Wide Enterprise with their plight. What does your biography mean for your photography. Is it important that you come from brazil as if you have experience as a refugee living far away from home i was an activist a politics lefties to. Bad octave used to i made him a brazen they stopped. The student in economy social science ed that when they came out of close to. It they that the become a photographer obese was inside the being obese is my head at that age and i think of my photography is not that them an activist that them a social football for that they have. A fault to report just enough to go for this is because i Love Photography because of my photograph to what they told you that was important politically. So see a live human and that what i love what i i. I so for me. My photography its my way of life is much more than anything that the better but try is milan would you and i think theyll go to oh do you see the star that the navy flew for both. 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. 994 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 he remembered were almost completely gone. His wife bailey a proposed today healed the 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 sowed in south gado. But the rain forest is burning almost 500000 hectares were destroyed in august 29th dean. Many deliberately ignited to clear the forest for farming you cattle ranching. And what happens in a most on is that is special in the last 50 s. We destroy a lot of homicide we destroy evolved to 19 per cent of the amazon and in the last 6. Weeks. That means the model that you had before brazil for all the water that is a part of that part model of economy is despite the thought of the model that destroyed a muscle but now after that mr bush from i have you fallen to see them across the electorate is not addicted to dictate to india but his position in direction of promise on earth is to this try to trace top in a space for agriculture to open a space for the production off so you have been a soft meat to offer these things that in reality you dont need more because it was enough so are you for all of these. I believe that we must all together im just glad that the president s and 1st shape president s back by all the planet we must create a movement to stop destruction we must sustain it stop the movement to protect the zener tribes in the muscle and we have. About 169 in 2 people in brazilian im a son in brazilian as one is an important book is about 65 percent of all im a zone it is in brazil all these emergency we have not to be protector we have about 183 groups of indian m and so on and if they were never contact never they are ours from 2000 years before 5000 years before they are in the danger to lose their forests to losing their way of life to be destroyed and discovered to be this is. A major disaster. Gado and spend several months of the year in brazil. But they have no intention of returning for good. We spent 11 years. Away from brasil because it was not possible go back. Dick that the ship was voted off or had a lot of friends up to a church that brought us us in 8 in brazil and hes staying for us and begin of the apes picked up the ship finish was supposed to go back and is wont to have our kids in for us or have one childhood that the has Downs Syndrome and if rice chose to head take up the kids in france are so good so well but bad that in brazil not that we take decision to stay because of our son and we love the frappes is our culture that receive us so well we are also french and then after that we started to split our life between brazil and france in or out of that i have proof of it. Just here 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 took sebastian also gado to pristine corners of the world visiting indigenous tribes whose way of life is still traditional. Capturing human communities. Landscapes. And wildlife in his signature exclude. Monochrome. We are for both of the 1st things we must be of no other person can be a foot of you must have a place for the big players before the grow up to be there to walk with delight walk all the plans with the composition photography is a stat that quite deep respect will run out and you must have a place in the you must. The place to be. So shall put off when people pee wee people than there are stars but it be true that. The finn enormous amount of preparation goes into his trips he spends months researching and planning his routes. These days he takes an assistant with him. His son giuliano is also accompanied him filming his father at work. Together they visited Wrangel Island in siberia his arctic ocean course it must use a gun to photograph the walrus breeding ground. Its bitterly cold here the walrus is have to 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 just a german film director of him vendors conducted extensive interviews with sa gado. And juxtaposed their conversations with julian knows footage and sort of got those photographs to make the biographical documentary the salt of the earth. Released in 2014 it garnered a number of a war. Words and helped bring the work of sebastiaan sargodha over to a wider public. 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. With this approach he sort of earns his right to tell their stories and about one day and then stuff. Wherever he goes or god treats his subjects with utmost respect nature people their traditions and culture back here in Papua New Guinea where he photographed indigenous tribes whose traditions are endangered. The a. 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 rebellions is see i dont not lose. I dont lose it also might energy and. No no no to see the human animal. Is a Political Animal we are all polluted. We had an old horse and with decide that we are the most important for all summa nice to fix so he died at the End Community and he is we are whole in that disease might put others at. Whats happened thats in my life it was not said the boy because of the same thing again. You take a photo in a fraction of a 2nd sagar has said but you need time to arrive there. Time commitment experience and internet curiosity. Some critics have said that he aesthetic 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 at a. A photographer from sweden from germany from france. I had another view of the planet there was a view looking from here to solve the planet for the 2 but i born in brazil when i showed you pictures like these one. Its not the to provoke a conflict in the course sets off no one its a motion on the side of my side that will. Mean a career that spanned 50 years as a bust ya saw gado 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 done as a dying craft for having won. A big in that business isnt a stand about football but its what are we out of doing that we descended from is not photography. Is a new language of communication the person made it used to communicate send it why not us and knows the design is not the bottom 4 then take a huge amount off because. The late to dan to someone is one they cherish telephone and they lose dispy to. Photography is another thing 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 elijah that photograph that the brain to that the beaches tell these stories that is really the main body of a society difficult to freeze is the mito of the society is a very recent way of communication photography has how many a bit more than one and that the in photography most probably would disappear is not there shame it is like you do that that that is sort 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 Sebastiano Salgado and contemplating his extraordinary images it seems impossible that photography will ever disappear. He is indeed compiling our memories. Come. To. This quite as simple as it seems. To understand the world better we need to take a closer look at. The experience knowledge. Tomorrow to. Talk to a doctor. Or.
