TOKYO.- Sebastião Salgado is a pioneer of the photo-documentary genre who is still active today and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography presents an exhibition of his latest work, entitled ‘Africa’. In this exhibition, we look at the true state of Africa, which is sometimes referred to as ‘the neglected continent,’ through the eyes of Sebastião Salgado, who started his career as an economist. Since he first began photographing Africa in the 1970s, various campaigns have been held around the world to prevent starvation and desertification there, and numerous plans have been put into action.
