Water Culture

More than 1 billion people have insufficient water to sustain life. The River Jordan, the Biblical epitome of water, is dying, like a man with his throat cut, his blood seeping down a drain. In Water Culture, Francesca Sorrenti of ske Group, in collaboration with Ocean Futures Society's Jean-Michel Cousteau, has collected a kaleidoscope of the elemental qualities of water in a series of photographs that are breathtaking to behold in their fantasy and equilibrium. Against these extraordinary images are set the records of the follies of mankind, the greed and despair and ignorance of the source of life that will again leave a bewildered albatross or a seal coated in oil by another Amoco Cadiz. Water Culture is dedicated to The International Year of Freshwater 2003.Ske Group Staff is the author of 'Water Culture', published 2004 under ISBN 9781904563174 and ISBN 1904563171.
