Passage to Angkor

Edición de la obra Passage to Angkor

"Of all the sacred sites that Kenro Izu has photographed since 1979, Angkor Wat is undoubtedly his spiritual and psychological base camp. While he has so often succeeded in representing the sacred and ancient landscape, Angkor Wat is the creative thread that weaves itself through all of his work. Angkor Wat is the touchstone - it supports Izu's output and indeed holds it together like the geometrical matrix of the spider's web." "For these reasons, Passage to Angkor artfully reexamines this most important aspect of Izu's career spanning the last quarter century, presenting Izu's most accomplished Angkor Wat photographs in a rarefied book form that is remarkable for its physical beauty." "Passage to Angkor is accomplished by poems by Helen Ibbitson Jessup that were inspired by Izu's photographs. Proceeds will be donated to Friends without a Border, a charity founded in 1995 by Kenro Izu as a way of returning something to Cambodia for the many images he captured there."--BOOK JACKET.
