Photo London

For Photo London 2025, Polka Gallery is collaborating with Prix Pictet on a special display from the series "Genesis", Sebastião Salgado’s masterful work created between 2004 and 2012. With more than 30 showings internationally, it has become the world’s most-viewed photographic exhibition, beating the record of Edward Steichen’s Family of Man. The hundreds of images that make up the exhibition question our relationship with the earth and its resources, and awaken our consciences.

To celebrate this extraordinary and unprecedented series, Salgado produced a portfolio of 50 platinumpalladium images from "Genesis" in 2014, which Gallery Polka presents in its entirety at Photo London 2025. This unique process, invented in 1873 by the Englishman William Willis, gives the print unrivalled beauty and stability.
