About
For this sixteenth title in theDes oiseauxcollection, the great Brazilian photographer has plunged into his impressive archives to extract a selection of exceptional images celebrating a world populated exclusively by albatrosses, eagles, parrots, gannets and other rare species. For over thirty years, Sebastio Salgado has been photographing, on land and at sea, in the most remote regions of the world, from the Amazon, Asia and Africa to the icy spaces of Antarctica. More than half of the photographs are previously unpublished, and the book is a veritable ode to the beauty of our planet.
To accompany this visual corpus, a text by Erik Orsenna evokes our close ties with the world of birds, while an interview between Sebastio Salgado and Philippe Sclier, co-director of theDes oiseauxcollection, bears witness to the photographer’s special relationship with the animal kingdom.
