A photographic atlas that projects future climate scenarios onto present-day landscapes—turning data into haunting visions of a world transformed.
Atlas of the New World is a visionary photographic project by Giulia Piermartiri and Edoardo Delille that merges documentary rigor with speculative imagination. Projecting future climate scenarios onto present-day landscapes using analog photography techniques, the book creates a compelling visual atlas of a planet in transformation. Each image overlays real places with ghostly visions of the world to come: flooded cities, vanished glaciers, scorched forests. Scientific data meets poetic insight as the work explores six geographies deeply affected by the climate crisis—from the vanishing Maldives to the scorched forests of Russia and California, the disappearing glaciers of Mont Blanc, and the flooded river basins of China.
Accompanied by texts from scientists and writers, the book invites us to see what is not yet visible: a future already seeded in our present. Atlas of the New World is both warning and proposition—a lyrical cartography of climate collapse and an urgent call for imaginative resilience.
