Portraits of survival and hope: a new series from acclaimed wildlife photographer Nick Brandt
Photographed in Zimbabwe and Kenya in late 2020, The Day May Break is the first part of a global series by acclaimed photographer Nick Brandt, portraying people and animals that have been impacted by environmental degradation and destruction.
The people in these photographs were all affected by climate change, displaced by cyclones and years-long droughts. Photographed at five sanctuaries, the animals were rescues that can never be rewilded. As a result, it was safe for human strangers to be close to them, photographed so close to them, within the same frame. The fog on location is the unifying visual motif, conveying the sense of an ever-increasing limbo, a once-recognizable world now fading from view. However, despite their respective losses, these people and animals have survived, and therein lies possibility and hope.
Nick Brandt (born 1964) studied film and painting at St Martin's College in London. He turned to photography in 2001 with his trilogy On This Earth, A Shadow Falls and Across the Ravaged Land. His more recent books are Inherit the Dust (2016) and This Empty World (2019). He lives in Southern California.

Recenzii de la cititorii Books Express
Vasile Decu - Biblioteca Exploratorilor Moderni a dat nota:
Metaforele vizuale ale lui Nick Brandt sunt foarte puternice, mai ales prin nuanțele infinite de cenușiu amenințător. Din păcate, portretele sale sunt cu mult mai puțin sumbre decât realitatea pe care o sintetizează. Imaginile nu sunt colaje, ci scene reale, cu animale din sanctuare, salvate dintr-o natură sub un asalt uriaș de distrugere accelerată, de la acțiuni individuale la impactul global al schimbărilor climatice. Iar natura ne include și pe noi. Poate că vom ieși cu bine din ceața aceasta sufocantă, supraviețuitori (oameni și animale), sau poate că dimineața va lumina locuri pustii. Depinde de noi. Noi suntem și agresori, și victime. Și braconieri, și salvatori. Și poluatori, și refugiați. Încă nu e prea târziu. Încă mai avem un bec de speranță.
