A photobook on resilience, climate adaptation, and the sacred ties between the people of Majuli and the Brahmaputra River—on the world’s largest river island.
A new photobook by documentary photographer András Zoltai tells the story of Majuli—the world’s largest river island, slowly disappearing under the shifting waters of the River Brahmaputra in Northeast India.
Spanning five years of immersive fieldwork, Flood Me, I’ll Be Here is both a record and a reflection: on climate adaptation, memory, and the quiet endurance of the people who remain.
Rather than focusing on catastrophe, Zoltai’s work explores the everyday continuity, the rhythms of resilience and the sacred intimacy between people and land. The book features 97 photographs, fragments of his diary, and an original text by Indian artist Devadeep Gupta, who reimagines a 1950s expedition through a speculative, post-seismic lens.
