It is hugely important to engage with new audiences for any author and photographer, especially if the subject is that of the ecosystems. We have recently visited Dubai Smart Landscapes forum and acted as keynote speakers, discussing and connecting the issues of urban sustainability, climate change and ecosystems restoration. Our most recent article on ‘Global…

It has been a fantastic experience being surrounded by over 15.000 practitioners in the field of climate change and policy….
ECOSYSTEMS @ClubofRome
I have been particularly delighted to be able to present ‘ECOSYSTEMS’ at the most elite gathering of the leading environmentalists and sustainability thinkers in the world, ‘The Club of Rome’. Taking place within a stone’s throw from the Vatican, this year’s meeting is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Club and is revisiting the historic…
SPILL by @BeltraStudio
When we think about the history of iconic events that created a shock in the public mind that influenced the development of environmental ideas several key moments come to mind. The Three Mile Nuclear Accident (1979), Bhopal (1984), Chernobyl (1986), Exxon Valdez oil spill (1989), Kuwait Oil Fires (1991), Fukushima (2011). One of those disasters…

Andre Derain @CentrePompidou
The grand exhibition of Andre Derain at Centre Pompidou in Paris is a landmark show the scale of which has not been seen since the 1994-1995 exhibition at the Musee d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Derain had a profound influence on me as a painter and is a constant source of inspiration for…
Photography as an ‘Environmental Practice’ @MuseumModernArt
Photographs in essence depict the effects of reflected light falling from the fragments of reality. Villem Flusser, considering the images a form of ‘mediations between the world and the human beings’, defends the view that photography is the most important human invention since the introduction of linear writing. Photographs are not real, in the sense…
The East and West of Fauvism
Two great masters of the twentieth century: Henri Matisse and Martiros Sarian, are probably the most outstanding colourists I know. They do not just use, apply or combine colour, they breath it and live it. The effect of such a passion – exquisite joy of the viewer and pleasure of the senses. The two painters led very different…
Burning Ice @capefarewell
In 2003, 2004 and 2005 three consecutive expeditions to the extreme Arctic featuring photographers, sculptors, scientists and educators sailed among the icebergs to bring to the world a message of our changing climate. The resulting book, ‘Burning Ice: Art and Climate Change’, produced by the lens-based artist, David Buckland, is a testimony to those expeditions…
Burtinsky @EdwardBurtynsky: OIL
Given the current state of the world with CO2 emissions concentration at 407.96 ppm (Maua Loa Observatory), over half of the world’s biodiversity lost in the last 40 years (Living Planet index declined 58% between 1970 and 2012 according to WWF Living Planet Report) and 8 mln tonnes of plastic waste entering the oceans every…
Pulau Redang @Resurgence_mag
When I visited a little tropical island of Pulau Redang a few years ago, I was expecting to experience the true tropical paradise with turtles coming to nest on island’s beaches. To my greatest disappointment every single area of island’s life: energy generation, transportation and, especially, waste treatment have shouted about existing problems. I photographed…
