Exhibition «Aqua Mater. Sebastião Salgado»

In the former water reservoir of Fundación Canal, Sebastião Salgado’s photographs will show how water transforms the face of the planet, from the rivers of the Amazon to the glaciers of Antarctica.

About this event

In the historic water reservoir of Fundación Canal, water will once again fill the space, this time through the photographs of Sebastião Salgado. On 28 October, «Aqua Mater» will open here, featuring nearly a hundred large-format black-and-white photographs depicting oceans, waterfalls, rivers, and masses of ice captured by the photographer during his years of travel.

Lélia Wanick Salgado will bring together the «Aqua Mater» and «Glaciares» series for the first time. From the Amazon to Antarctica, the exhibition will take visitors through places where water shapes the landscape and the lives of its inhabitants. The photographs reveal both the power of a waterfall and the contours of ice, whose apparent stillness hides constant change. A soundscape will complete the visual experience.
