Programme
Sebastião Salgado, Genesis
The Villa Tamaris, art centre of the TPM Metropolis, is dedicating a major retrospective to Sebastião Salgado, highlighting one of his landmark projects: Genesis. This photographic journey is a quest for origins, exploring territories untouched by the modern world. Majestic landscapes, ancestral peoples and wild fauna form a mosaic of a nature that has remained unspoilt. From polar regions to arid deserts, from tropical forests to icy mountains, Salgado unveils the raw beauty of our planet. Genesis is both a tribute to this sovereign nature and a call to protect it.
