Martyrs, Saints and Superheroes

October 13, 2012 by Gauthiér Leave a Comment

The last 4 years I have been working under the thematic title, Evidence and Artifacts, a reference to the tangible by-products produced by human advancement. Evidence and Artifacts is a photographic anthology addressing the impact of “progress” on the environment and ultimately, on human health and development. I have been adding new “chapters” to the larger collection as distinctive categories develop, all the while continuing to build upon the “chapters” that already have been formed.

I am excited to share the next “chapter” in the series titled, Evidence and Artifacts: Martyrs, Saints and Superheroes. This work is a collection of narrative portraits referencing Renaissance/Baroque saint paintings and iconic hero representations.  I am photographing members of the global community who best personify exceptional courage, wisdom or compassion and exemplify the highest humanitarian ideals but are under recognized, diminished or vilified for their efforts. Some of the people I photograph are bringing attention to the damage we are inflicting on our planet, while others are focused on relieving human suffering. Each person has a unique story tell.
