The Fahey/Klein Gallery is pleased to
present "Across the Ravaged Land" the third series in renowned
photographer Nick Brandt's epic vision and ongoing effort to capture the
vanishing world and changing landscape of East Africa. This latest body of work
represents the final installment of Nick Brandt's ongoing efforts to document a
rapidly disappearing world. Nick Brandt's previous two exhibitions and
publications, "On This Earth" and "A Shadow Falls" are now
concluded by this third and final installment. This series completes the
sentence which embodies his trilogy, "On This Earth, A Shadow Falls,
Across the Ravaged Land."

As a response to what he was
witnessing, in 2010, Nick Brandt and conservationist Richard Bonham, co-founded
Big Life Foundation. Relying on a grass roots effort and inclusive community
collaboration, Big Life Foundation has already achieved a dramatic reduction in
poaching of animals in the Amboseli ecosystem, a nearly two-million acre area
covering the Kenya/Tanzania border. The aim of Big Life Foundation is not only
to apprehend poachers but to protect the entire ecosystem, drawing on community
collaboration to support conservation, which in turn can support and sustain
the community.
