Inherit The Dust, a moving exhibition by Nick Brandt

This isn’t photoshop: Nick Brandt, an English photographer and wildlife preservation activist, printed dramatic portraits of Africa’s animals, blew them up to life-size, and had them physically fitted on panels in urban waste- and pollution-laden areas throughout Kenya — where the animals used to roam.

Inherit The Dust, the resulting solo exhibition, debuted in New York City’s Edwynn Houk Gallery in 2016, and has since travelled to many major cities around the world. The New Yorker has an image gallery of the exhibition.
