Nick Brandt:
The Day May Break

Chapter Four, The Echo of Our Voices (Jordan, 2024), is on view at the Galerija Fotografija gallery.

In cooperation with Galerija Fotografija and WILLAS Contemporary

A major exhibition by one of the greatest environmental photographers of our time, Nick Brandt (1964). 

The Day May Break is the first part of a global series portraying both people and animals that have been impacted by environmental degradation and destruction. The series was shot in different locations around the world – countries that are the least polluting but the most climate vulnerable. The first two chapters were photographed in Kenya, Zimbabwe (2020) and Bolivia (2022), while SINK and RISE, dedicated exclusively to humans, was shot in Fiji. Photographed underwater, the local people in these photographs are representatives of the many people whose homes, land and livelihoods will be lost in the coming decades as the sea level rises.

But despite their losses, the subjects – both people and animals – have nevertheless survived; and thus the series also offers hope and a possibility for the future.
