The Salt of the Earth

A journey with Sebastião Salgado. For the last 40 years, the photographer Sebastião Salgado has been travelling through the continents, in the footsteps of an ever changing humanity. He has witnessed the major events of our recent history; international conflicts, starvations and exodus. He is now embarking on the discovery of pristine territories, of the wild fauna and flora, of grandiose landscapes as part of a huge photographic project which is a tribute to the planet's beauty. Sebastião's Salgado's life and work are revealed to us by his son, Juliano, who went with him during his last travels, and by Wim Wenders, a photographer himself.

Pieter Hugo | La Cucaracha

Huxley-Parlour gallery, London, are pleased to present La Cucaracha, new photographs by South African artist Pieter Hugo. A multifaceted study of place, the series includes a mix of individual portraits, vibrant and visceral landscapes, interior studies and still lifes, and explores death, sexuality and spirituality in Mexico. The series reflects the artist’s long-standing interest in how history and environment can shape a culture and those living within it. Hugo looks to rituals of rites of passage, and their associated formal codes of conduct and dress, but also wider rituals of religion, theatre and community. In this series, he specifically looks to the impact on the physical body, creating powerful portraits that focus on tattoos, jewellery, of sweat on skin and scars.

Ametsuchi: Photographs by Rinko Kawauchi

Rinko Kawauchi’s book, Ametsuchi, is comprised of two Japanese characters meaning heaven and earth, and is taken from the title of one of the oldest pangrams in Japanese, a chant in which each character of the Japanese syllabary is used. Kawauchi brings together images of distant constellations and tiny figures lost within landscapes, as well as photographs of a traditional style of controlled-burn farming (yakihata) in which the cycles of cultivation and recovery span decades and generations. Punctuating the series are images of Buddhist rituals and other religious ceremonies.

Jeremy Deller x Davids Sims x Aries: WILTSHIRE B4 CHRIST

A visual feast of photography, pagan symbolism and rave iconography, WILTSHIRE B4 CHRIST continues Deller's ongoing exploration of British identity in projects like The History of the World and Acid Brass with a show and capsule collection that delves into mysticism and the pull of Neolithic sites like Stonehenge. Deller speaks about how the exhibition came about at London's The Store X, why he's so fascinated by the mystery of Stonehenge and why he thinks the site has held such a fascination for musicians, revellers and ravers across the centuries.
