In Genesis, you can discover more than 30 trips, on foot, light aircraft, seagoing vessels, canoes or even hot-air balloons. The photographies are striking by their truth, their authenticity and a kind of purity on the eyes of people and animals that were photographed. Salgado succeeded to capture the sparkle of life in all the different shots of Genesis. Check here a video by Taschen with Sebastiâo Salgado himself.

The Musée de l’Elysée, once again, is making reference to the pole of excellence it has been building year after year. As one of the world leading museums for photography since 1985, l’Elysée has been improving public understanding of photography through amazing and incredible exhibitions.
