Description

Natürlich sind die gezeigten Kulturen teilweise auch schon westlich beeinflusst, was Jimmy Nelson auch gar nicht zu verstecken versucht. This design collection focuses on the harmony of bringing the outside into your interior space and the health benefits that it brings. What I feel a bit ambivalent about is the scanty and seemingly rather romanticized text that accompanies them.

Jimmy Nelsons Anliegen ist: „… Bilder erschaffen, die uns und die nachfolgenden Generationen an die Schönheit des unverfälschten und authentischen Lebens erinnern, an das Wesentliche, das uns dieses Leben lehrt und das uns in der sogenannten zivilisierten Welt offenbar abhanden gekommen ist. The tribes in Nelson’s book face constant threats of displacement, murder, racism, or forced “development”, yet the average viewer would have no inkling of the suffering behind every dramatic print. This tribute to vibrant tribal cultures around the world is a must-have for any lover of documentary photography. A huge coffee table style book - beautifully presented and full of fantastic photographs of tribal and ethnic groups and individuals in their traditional costumes, captured before "they pass away" under the pressures of global homogenisation. The extremely large format takes you further into their lives than a National Geographic image does.Curtis, el autor realiza un fenomenal trabajo fotográfico plasmando de forma espectacular a culturas apasionantes como los kazakhs (mongolia), himba (namibia), huli, asaro y kalam (Papua Nueva Guinea), chukchi (rusia), mustang (nepal), tsaatan (mongolia), mursi, dassanech, banna, karo o hamar (etiopia), rabari (india), samburu (kenya), huaorani (ecuador), dani, yali o korawai (indonesia), etc. Gerade in Zeiten der Globalisierung können diese Gesellschaften wegen ihrer charakteristischen Lebensweisen, Künste und Traditionen nicht hoch genug geschätzt werden. Erleben Sie den Reichtum der verschiedenen Stammesgemeinschaften mit Jimmy Nelsons bemerkenswertem Bildband Durch Nelsons Linse erhalten wir einen seltenen Einblick in das tägliche Leben und die Bräuche dieser bemerkenswerten Völker und gewinnen ein neues Verständnis für ihre einzigartige Sichtweise auf alles von Spiritualität bis Mode.

The criminal, often genocidal, treatment of many tribal peoples remains underpinned by a portrayal eliciting from us little more than wistful pangs of history lost. Jimmy Nelson not only presents us with stunning images of customs and artifacts, but also offers insightful portraits of people who are the guardians of a culture that they--and we--hope will be passed on to future generations in all its glory. In seinem epochalen Bildband Before They Pass Away fängt Jimmy Nelson die Lebensweise der letzten verbliebenen Völker ein, denen es gelingt, in einer globalisierten Welt ihre überlieferten Bräuche aufrechtzuerhalten. Instead, Nelson has selected picturesque elements from each place, added a pinch of untruths, removed political and social context and painted their deliberate and preventable destruction as effectively a fait accompli. Der Preis ist bei dem ganzen Aufwand sicherlich gerechtfertigt, aber es ist und bleibt eine stolze Summe (stolz wie die Personen auf den Portraits).We are proud to have kept it close to ‘home’ as Look a Book is a small company based in Volendam, one of our proud communities represented in the new book. Now based in Amsterdam, his limitless curiosity and fascination with other cultures has lead him on a journey around the world to document some of the world’s oldest surviving communities. Nun gibt es jedoch eine sogenannte „kleine Ausgabe“ (die weder klein noch leicht ist ;-)) für deutlich weniger Geld, da habe ich natürlich zugeschlagen. Be adventurous and immerse yourself in this visual tale, carefully peeling back the layers to get lost amongst the dense foliage taking yourself on a journey of discovery. The delicate tones for the days we feel Saintly whilst the darker shades depict the darker side of humanity.

To celebrate the launch of Between the Sea and the Sky we made a unique book stand in collaboration with Look a Book. They are beautiful and evocative, but the book has a slight feel of a Victorian explorer's staged pictures of the world rather than realistic portrayals. Nelson’s mission is built on a horrifying assumption: that these Indigenous peoples are on the brink of destruction. ATLAS Gallery will be the first British Gallery to showcase Jimmy Nelson’s landmark project Before They Pass Away. Nelson sells fairytale versions of happy tribes as if they're all paradisaical, better versions of modern society.

With missionary zeal to capture what he could “before they pass away,” Nelson traveled deep off the road to arrive at these remnant societies. Controversial photographer Jimmy Nelson’s work has been attacked by tribal and Indigenous people around the world, Survival International and leading photographers. Nothing wrong with nostalgia of course, but there’s a lot wrong with presenting crimes against humanity as just another historical inevitability, as natural and unstoppable as Canute’s rising tide. Mit seiner Laufboden-Großformatkamera fängt Nelson jedes noch so feine Detail und jede winzige Nuance für die Nachwelt ein und präsentiert zahlreiche Szenen dieses prächtigen Schauspiels vor den lebendigen Hintergründen der noch unberührtesten Landschaften unseres Planeten.
