Description

Conceived as a retrospective, this book illustrates Kenro Izu's refined artistic research and the work that for over thirty years he has been carrying out, like a tireless pilgrim, in the world's most evocative holy sites: from the Egyptian pyramids and the ancient stones of Stonehenge to the site of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, from Buddhist temples in India and Indonesia to the Syrian desert and Tibetan peaks.

Fascinated by the sublime beauty of ancient remains, he returns to the styles and printing techniques of 19th-century photography as best able to capture the mystical atmosphere of the places examined.
