WISDOM
Andrew Zuckerman
“One of the greatest gifts we can give to another generation is our experience, our wisdom.” Desmond Tutu
Photographer Andrew Zuckerman has captured the voices, physical presence and the written word of 60 iconic over 65-year olds to create profound, honest, andtruly revealing portraits. The resulting books and film provide an extraordinary legacy for the generations that follow and timeless portraits of the common themes that unite us all.
WISDOM was published in the USA, Canada, UK, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand in October 2008, and was a smash holiday hit, selling out in all markets.
Noted filmmaker and photographer, Andrew Zuckerman, utilizes a multitude of platforms to produce work that is systematically executed, conceptually based, and democratically presented. Minimalist in nature, Zuckerman aims to create atmospheres of clarity and neutrality to facilitate the viewer’s access to the material. He has employed this distinctive approach in four critically acclaimed multi-media projects-CREATURE (2007), WISDOM (2008), BIRD (2009), and MUSIC (2010)-which have been realized as books, films, and traveling exhibitions. His books have been translated into numerous languages and published in 18 international editions. Zuckerman’s 2007 short film, “High Falls,” premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and was selected as Best Short Film at the Woodstock Film Festival. His work has been exhibited extensively worldwide, and has been collected in and commissioned for public and private collections. He lives with his family in New York City.
