中文简介：

尼克·勃兰特（Nick Brandt）的拍摄对象有些是人类，有些是动物，但他们都是具有平等和明显人格的生物。在他正在进行的全球系列作品《黎明破晓前》中，人和动物都在摸索如何在一个新的世界中生活。每个人都是经历了自己的一连串悲剧来到玻利维亚的森达佛得野生动物保护区进行拍摄的。极端的干旱和洪水都摧毁了人们的家园和生计。这些动物是栖息地破坏和野生动物贩卖的受害者，它们是永远无法被放归大自然的救援动物。通过把动物和人类放置在同一个画面中，尼克·勃兰特向我们展示出一个命运共享的“集体”。雾作为主视觉元素，象征着自然界迅速从视野中消失；也代表着野火产生的烟雾，由于气候变化，野火更加猛烈，对地球的大部分地区造成破坏。但是，尽管损失惨重，这些人和动物都是幸存者，是进入世界新阶段的先驱者。在《黎明破晓前》中，他们分享了自己强有力的故事。

英文简介：

Some of Nick Brandt's subjects are humans, some are animals, but they all are creatures of equal and obvious personhood. The overwhelming sense in the photographer's ongoing global series The Day May Break is that they are all figuring out how to live in a new world. Each has arrived at the shoot at Senda Verde wildlife sanctuary in Bolivia through their own cascade of tragedy. Both extreme droughts and floods have destroyed people's homes and livelihoods. Victims of habitat destruction and wildlife trafficking, the animals are rescues that can never be released to the wild. People and animals were photographed in the same frame and indeed convey a sense of connectedness through a shared fate. Fog is the unifying visual, symbolic of the natural world rapidly fading from view; and an echo of the smoke from wildfires, intensified by climate change, devastating so much of the planet. But in spite of their loss, these people and animals are survivors, pioneers entering the new phase our world has reached. In The Day May Break they share their powerful stories.
