We also design the exhibition catalogue, that aimed to enable visitors to take away some of the photographer's best-known images and his message in defence of the planet's sustainability.

In the first room, ‘The Living Sea’, we created a sandy floor in a dark blue environment. The exhibition route was set up by 5 big light boxes, displaying photographs and information on each marine animal selected.

There was a life-size photograph in front, with other images and complementary information behind. The exhibition was punctuated by Hussain’s comments on certain photographs, which were highlighted to better convey the photographer's feelings.

At the end an installation made up from thousands of suspended nylon wires and plastic waste on the ground, intend to alert to the dangers of plastic pollution in the oceans, one of Hussain’s great missions.

The second part, ‘Among the Giants’, comprises a white room, much like a typical art gallery setting. The space includes photos of humpback whales alongside quotes of the photographer while in the middle of the room, a replica of a humpback whale takes center stage.
