The Salt of the Earth, directed by visionary filmmaker Wim Wenders and Juliano Ribeiro Salgado, son of Sebastião Salgado, offers a unique opportunity to observe the world's significant social, economic, and environmental changes through the perspective of the world-renowned Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado.

When Salgado began his photography career, he became known for documenting humanitarian tragedies such as wars, famine, migration, and poverty. However, the devastation he witnessed over the years profoundly impacted his perspective. This led him to turn his focus toward nature, launching his project ‘Genesis’, in which he photographed the untouched regions of the world.

Premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, where it won three awards and was later nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary, the film offers an exploration of a photographer's personal and artistic journey and an inspiring reflection on humanity's relationship with nature.

Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel

In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
