NICK BRANDT: THIS EMPTY WORLD

  • 07 Feb — 07 Mar 19

The series addresses the escalating destruction of the natural world at the hands of humans showing a world where overwhelmed by runaway development there is no longer space for animals to survive.

The people in the photos, never portrayed as the aggressors, are also often helplessly swept along by the relentless tide of ‘progress’. Environmental degradation will almost always affect poor rural people the most, due to the exhausted natural resources upon which they rely.

Each image is a combination of two moments in time captured weeks apart almost all from the exact same locked-off camera position. Photographed in Kenya the project is shot mostly at night with constructed sets and an enormous cast. For the very first time Brandt’s new work is in colour and digital medium format.
