Paris celebrates Sebastião Salgado. A major retrospective at the Hôtel de Ville, retracing decades of humanist and environmental photography

The City of Paris pays a moving tribute to Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado in the prestigious Salle Saint-Jean at the Hôtel de Ville. This exceptional exhibition, featuring hundreds of works and conceived in collaboration with Lélia Wanick Salgado - the photographer's wife - and the Maison Européenne de la Photographie (MEP), celebrates a deep bond spanning more than 50 years between the artist and his adopted city. The exhibition invites visitors to rediscover his major emblematic series, bearing witness to the fragile beauty of our planet and the human condition. In addition to their mastery of black and white, the exhibition highlights the couple's unwavering commitment to environmental issues. The visit ends on an intimate note with works by their son, Rodrigo Salgado.
