Prix pictet 4 - Power, de Teneues. Editora Paisagem Distribuidora de Livros Ltda., capa dura em inglês, 2012

Descrição

The Prix Pictet chose "power" as the theme for this photo competition. The introduction, although not part of the photo collection, gets the notion off to a strong start, with commentary by Kofi Annan - secretary-general of the U.N. for nearly a decade. One might argue that other political figures have wielded greater political power, but I think that view lacks subtlety. The U.N. is where nations come together, working for their common good. The delicacy needed to navigate the divergent goals and hostilities expresses a different kind of power, as does the premise of hope in ongoing multi-national cooperation.
