Journey in Christianity: When the year 2000 imposed itself on the universal calendar, Christianity became at the same time the symbol of the omnipotence of the West. Because religion is an excellent guideline for deciphering society and its changes, Abbas has made Christianity a political and spiritual fact, a fact of civilization. From Brazil to Korea, from Russia to South Africa, he has photographed the lands of Christianity with his sharp and critical eye. Supplemented by the author's travel diaries, this book bears witness to a religion that still engenders passions, violence or compassion. "... what appears here is the other eye, that of the photographer, an eye remarkably engaged not only with what is seen, in black and white so to speak, but also with what is less obvious. , the zones of paradox and enigma. By playing with the angle of the shots, the frame and the distance, the photographer takes us into the worlds of the visible and the occult. He makes us savour the rhythm of the forms and their repetition, that of gestures; it makes us intercept, to our own surprise, a gaze or a gesture turned towards the objective. Here we are confronted with the very essence of style in art: the expression of 'a point of view, a position taken - and offered; not necessarily to change the world, but at least to change the way we perceive it." Miriam Rosen, article in Artforum, about the photos of Abbas during the "Magnum" exhibition. Clean tight copy, no marks or inscriptions. Dust jacket in very good condition.
