“Barbara Boissevain's Salt of the Earth crystallizes the complex endeavors of salt extraction into a dazzling celebration of color, abstraction, and mind-bending vistas. What a delight it is to see a positive environmental story made over a long period of time - revealing what we are really capable of when we take care of the planet & reverse the carelessness of the past."
—Laura A. Noble (LANG Gallery, London), 2023
In Salt of the Earth, Barbara Boissevain takes us on a visual odyssey, exploring the transforming landscapes of the San Francisco Bay. Published by the esteemed Kehrer Verlag, this expansive hardcover book unfolds over 108 pages, featuring 96 color photographs, offering a vivid and intimate exploration of these dystopian landscapes situated in the heart of Silicon Valley.
This book is Barbara’s “love letter” to the Bay, encapsulating her profound connection and commitment to documenting the ongoing restoration of former industrial salt ponds into thriving natural wetlands. Over the last twelve years, Barbara has deepened her exploration of this constantly evolving subject by adjusting her perspective and photographing from the air, the ground and beneath the water with a macro lens.
