Synopsis

Dieser bemerkenswerte Band würdigt einige der bewegendsten und inspirierendsten Kulturen der Welt. Mit Bildern von Prominenten wie Heidi Klum und den Black Eyed Peas. Als Zeugnis des Zusammenwirkens von Künstlern und Kulturen zeichnet dieses Buch die Spuren einer mehrjährigen kreativen Reise nach. Der international bekannte australische Fotograf Russell James war von der offiziellen Entschuldigung seiner Regierung bei der indigenen Bevölkerung des Kontinents tief bewegt. Darum machte er sich auf, den Kontakt zum ursprünglichen Erbe seines Landes zu suchen und über die kulturelle Kluft hinweg zur Versöhnung aufzurufen. Der Wunsch, seine eigene Fotografie mit der traditionellen Kunst der Aborigines zu vereinigen, trieb ihn an. Seither hat sich das Projekt zu einer Reihe internationaler Kooperationen und Partnerschaften ausgeweitet, die den beteiligten Künstlern wirtschaftlichen Nutzen bringen und das öffentliche Bewusstsein für die weltweit am stärksten bedrohten menschlichen Gemeinschaften und Kulturen steigern.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

A collaboration of artists, as well as cultures, this project traces a creative journey of several years. In 2008 internationally renowned Australian photographer Russell James was moved by his government's formal apology to the indigenous people of the continent. He set off to connect with his country' s aboriginal heritage and bring about reconciliation across the cultural divide. He was inspired to fuse his own photography with classic aboriginal art. Since then, the project has expanded into a series of international collaborations and partnerships that provide economic benefit to the artists and raise the public's understanding of the world's most threatened cultures and communities.

À propos de la deuxième de couverture

In the last decade it has evolved from James' individual attempt to understand the clash of ancient and modern cultures he witnessed growing up in Australia to what it is today - a powerful expression of partnership and reconciliation in action through art, music and film that has become a global example of true collaboration across deep cultural divides. From its humble beginnings as a photographic and film exhibition in New York in 1999, "Nomad Two Worlds" endured the years leading up to the global event known in the political narrative simply as The Apology, the 2008 public apology made to Indigenous Australians by the then Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd. Developing "Nomad Two Worlds" has involved a decade of groundwork, including travel to remote regions of northern Western Australia with senior Indigenous custodians who have provided access to sites of great cultural significance to the Aboriginal people of that region. Burial grounds, gorges, stunning coastlines and desert locations, often restricted and secret, were allowed to be photographed and filmed by James in the spirit of meaningful reconciliation. The result, an unprecedented artistic collaboration of hand embellished art photographs, form the heart of a "Nomad Two Worlds" installation. The ABC Documentary released in 2011 "Becoming Jangala" is a detailed look back at the creation of "Nomad Two Worlds" and the special bond between Bieundurry and James and can be viewed on this site.
