JIMMY NELSON

The last sentinels : hereos from near and far

A journey to the heart of the world’s last indigenous cultures and landscapes, The Last Sentinels celebrates the diversity of these peoples who live in harmony with nature. Based on images and films taken during Jimmy Nelson’s travels, the work reveals the world’s last indigenous peoples, photographed on 5 continents. Striking portraits of Asian, African, Latin American and Oceanic peoples emerge, guardians of a culture that Jimmy Nelson’s camera captures in all its complexity and beauty. Through the stunning portraits and landscapes, visitors discover rites and traditions to the rhythm of a soundtrack inspired by musical compositions from Africa, Siberia, India, South America and Aboriginal Australia.

‘The Last Sentinels’ offers a timeless journey that is at once aesthetic, emotional and profoundly human.
