NOMAD TWO WORLDS traces the remarkable creative journey of
internationally renowned Australian photographer Russell James
through his fine art project, Nomad Two Worlds. This stunning
photographic art book shows the progression of James’ work on this
project over the last decade. What began as a purely personal
attempt to understand and interpret through photography the clash
of ancient and modern cultures he witnessed growing up in
Australia, has today become a powerful expression of partnership,
reconciliation, and economic opportunity in action through art,
music and film. Nomad Two Worlds aims to be a global example of
true collaboration across deep cultural divides. NOMAD TWO WORLDS
showcases James’ artistic collaborations with a range of Indigenous
Australian, Native American and Haitian artists. These artists have
added their own evocative interpretations or “story” to James’
images by hand, incorporating legends and concepts that relate
directly to the thematic intent of the photographs using their
chosen artform. The result is a striking collection of contemporary
photography combined with more traditional artforms including
painting, beading, textiles and sculpture. Some of the world’s most
beautiful and interesting people including Heidi Klum, Sir Richard
Branson, The Black Eyed Peas, Adriana Lima, Miranda Kerr, Hugh
Jackman and more, also agreed to be photographed for the
collaborations. Overall, the collection is a celebration of
cultural difference, and tries to challenge mainstream perceptions
of ancient and threatened cultures, whilst creating a platform for
dialogue and education. Since its launch in New York in 2009 with
the support of Donna Karan, Hugh Jackman and the Australian
Government, the Nomad Two Worlds art collection has been previewed
in Melbourne, Los Angeles, Berlin, Haiti, Washington, D.C. and
London. Nomad Two Worlds has now evolved into a socially
responsible global business that celebrates the beauty and rich
cultural history of Indigenous and marginalised people worldwide,
whilst bringing long-term economic benefit to the artists and
communities James’ collaborates with. It has been hailed as an
exemplary business model, promoting economic development through
artistic collaboration.additional images:This remarkable volume
