Kuwait: A Desert on Fire — Sebastião Salgado
Shot in the aftermath of the Gulf War, Kuwait: A Desert on Fire is Sebastião Salgado’s searing chronicle of ecological and human catastrophe — a series of images that feel almost mythological in their scale and horror. Published by Taschen, this volume collects Salgado’s documentation of the oil fires ignited by retreating Iraqi forces in 1991: hellish black skies, molten earth, workers dwarfed by towers of flame, and the eerie, chemical sublime of a scorched desert rendered uninhabitable.
