Enzo’s mission is to create a body of work that can be evidence of what climate change is now…

In recent years he has built a network of global excellence around his projects, involving key government organisations, cultural institutions and philanthropic foundations from across the world.
Enzo’s mission is to create a body of work which documents and visualises climate change and the transformation our planet is facing right now. A transformation in which we are deeply involved and by which we are deeply affected.
“I believe everyone has a duty to do something for our planet within their own capacity and skill. I do it through photography because photography doesn’t need translation.”

A recent interview by All Arts about my Antarctica book and project: ‘The Noise of Ice‘
The Noise of Ice | Antarctica
Inspired by Sir Ernest Shackleton, photographer Enzo Barracco decided to undertake an expedition in Antarctica.
Enzo and his team travelled to Antarctica, recording its wild and dramatic terrain through photography. The photographs formed the basis of his book ‘The Noise of Ice | Antarctica’ which was written by Enzo with a foreword by Sir Ranulph Fiennes and an introduction from the Director of the Royal Geographical Society.
“I believe Enzo’s work is a great way for key conservation messages to be relayed. Everyone has a role to play in conservation and protecting areas of the world that are at risk. Art, such as Enzo’s work, is a hugely effective way to communicate this message. It plays a crucial educational role, but it is also accessible and appealing.”
“Enzo’s images are a new chapter in the visual recording of this extraordinary continent.”
“Enzo Barracco’s images of Antarctica perfectly capture the beauty and simplicity of this ice-dominated continent. The clarity and quality of Enzo’s work leave a lasting impression on the viewer.”
“Enzo Barracco’s feature of Antarctica is a timely reflection on the wider impact of the built environment on climate change. With the concept of global warming intangible to many, Enzo’s work helps to remind us that human activity has far-reaching consequences for the rest of the planet.”
“We have need of the daily heroic gestures that each one of us can perform, to reduce the impact we have on the planet. This is shown unmistakably by Enzo Barracco with his stunning photographs, which capture the fragile equilibrium of Antarctica.”
