The curation highlights the key themes and milestones over the last five decades of his career and will feature works from his early projects such as Gold (1986) and Workers (1993), as well as more recent series like Genesis (2011) and Amazônia (2019).

Salgado is the 17th recipient of the Sony World Photography Awards Outstanding Contribution to Photography, an award that honours a person or group that has made a significant impact on the photographic medium.
