In spite of the fact that we live in such a seismically unstable world, people still choose to live in high risk places, justifying their decision by citing the beauty and fertility of the land. They know that the disaster could be repeated, but they do not leave, and they will still be there when it happens again. Why? Because man wants to live on the edges, aware of the fact that living is itself risky somehow. And always remembering that this earth has a geological equilibrium that could change at any time.
Galleria Carla Sozzani with Grazia Neri and de.MO present the book Tsunami: a document of devastation and a selection of pictures in a photography exhibition presenting seven of the forty-four photographs contained in the book.
Tsunami is a document testifying to the destruction caused by one of the worst natural disasters in history. The severity and enormity of the event inspired de.MO (a publisher which has won numerous awards based in Millbrook, NY) to choose a large format for the book (64x49cm).
Photographers Gary Knight, Antonin Kratochvil, Joachim Ladefoged, James Nachtwey and John Stanmeyer, of VII Photo Agency, represented exclusively by Grazia Neri in Italy, captured the devastation that wiped away whole villages and changed the face of the countries rimming the Indian Ocean.
The pictures show the terrible natural and human impact of an event which caused the death of 250,000 people.
Profits from sales of the book will go to the non-profit association Doctors of the World.
