He is also the author of the documentary series Vu du ciel, the feature film Home, Planet Ocean (with Michel Pitiot) and Human, a film that speaks to humanity. The resulting book and exhibition were an extraordinary worldwide success. Yann Arthus-Bertrand is known for the spectacular aerial photographs of the photography project, The Earth Seen from the Sky. And to speak of its beauty is to arouse, perhaps, the momentum that will enable? to preserve our blue planet. For? although it has changed and many threats weigh on its future, ours remains a magnificent Planet. Thirty years after that Declaration there is still much to be done, and as Yann Arthus-Bertrand himself says, “Both Brian Skerry and I saw the beauty of the world and, to protect it, we decided to witness it. At the Earth Summit, Rio de Janeiro 1992, the preservation of our Oceans was unanimously regarded as a priority. Much of the marine world is still unknown to us, yet the human footprint can be felt everywhere. The exhibition showcases the beauty of the oceans, their diversity?, their usefulness?, the dangers that threaten them, and the solutions that can be brought to bear. Just think of plastics, climate change, pollution, and overexploitation.
But in addition to presenting some of the most? beautiful photos dedicated to the world of the Sea, the exhibition highlights the impact of man, which is at the same time the cause and the solution of all the problems that have now been determined. In the photos on display, all in color and in large formats, it will be possible to observe up close and in an unprecedented way, the richness and variety of marine and coastal environments, animal and plant species. In Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Brian Skerry’s shots, therefore, we discover not only the beauty of the Oceans but also the importance and necessity of protecting the Sea as a heritage of humanity. The human body is 60 percent water and contains the same percentage of salt as the Ocean.
And until 250 million years ago, life on the planet was dominated by marine creatures, from bacteria to large cetaceans. It was in the Sea that the first forms of life appeared, a billion years after the oceans were formed. The oceans are the main source of protein for about a billion people, and activities directly or indirectly related to fisheries employ about 200 million people worldwide. The Sea produces 50 percent of the oxygen we breathe and absorbs one-third of our CO2 emissions. When astronauts were able to see the Earth from space, they realized that ours is a Blue planet, first of all because the waters of the oceans occupy two-thirds of the surface. And it is love that is the prerequisite for the cure,” these are the words of Ancona City Councilor for Culture Paolo Marasca. I use the term care because the first effect of this extraordinary exhibition is to create a new affection between those who visit it and the sea, a feeling, a love.
“There is no more suitable place than the Mole of Ancona to host Pianeta Mare, an exhibition of art and care that weaves the threads of the infinite bond between human beings and the most important element on the planet: water. The views of the two photographers, one from the sky and the other from the depths of the sea, chase each other in 70 extraordinary auteur photographs of our Sea Planet. The exhibition-promoted by the City of Ancona with the collaboration of the Goodplanet Foundation and Contemplation, and organized by Rjma Cultural Projects-offers the public an opportunity to rediscover the strong and primordial relationship between man and the sea. 25 to June 25, 2023, recounts the beauty of our blue planet and provokes reflection on the urgency of preserving it and ways of experiencing it. Entirely dedicated to the sea is the "Planet Sea" exhibition, which runs through June 25 at the Mole Vanvitelliana in Ancona and displays works by Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Brian Skerry.įor the first time in Italy, Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Brian Skerry ’s photographic exhibition entitled Planet Sea, staged in the halls of the Mole Vanvitelliana in Ancona from Feb.
