Before They Pass Away: Les dernières Ethnies- Avant qu'elles ne disparaissent (E/ F/ G)

Product Information

Appreciate earth and its inhabitants, celebrate and learn from our diverse cultures and be wowed by the nature that surrounds us. With globalization, these societies are to be prized for their distinctive lifestyles, art and traditions.

The extremely large format takes you further into their lives than a National Geographic image does. 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.This design collection focuses on the harmony of bringing the outside into your interior space and the health benefits that it brings. Your title for the body of work is misleading and the impression people will get is false…I’m simply saying that Maori people are not part of a dying breed and we don’t need to be portrayed as such, for a book… Jimmy Nelson… You take good photos, there’s no doubt about that, but I believe the premise for your book is just plain wrong. This elegant and evocative collection of photographs documents the unseen lives and traditions of over 15 million people from 35 of the world’s last indigenous tribes.

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. As for the Indigenous communities whom he has engaged, does he not recognize politeness laced with an ironic smile? This tribute to vibrant tribal cultures around the world is a must-have for any lover of documentary photography. This enchanting design collection submerges you deep beneath the ocean waves, dive down amongst the intoxicating layers of Adrift to discover the mischief and madness you have come to expect from BOBO1325. Industrialized society is trying to destroy us in the name of ‘progress’, but we will keep defending our lands and contributing to the protection of the planet.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. Lots of wonderful photos of the Dani people which are probably the most photographed in that country.
