Synopsis
For the past 25 years, Fazal Sheikh has highlighted the plight of displaced people and refugees around the world. He has photographed people driven from their homes by war as well as those upended by the redrawing of national borders and the reassertion of racial and ethnic divisions. Sheikh has also made sublime photographs of landscapes altered by political and environmental crises.
In the past two years, the shift to the political right in the US has been replicated across Europe, the Middle East, Central and East Africa and Southeast Asia, as authoritarian governments and xenophobia have increased. As an act of refusal to these political trends, Sheikh sought out the celebrated novelist and critic Teju Cole for a collaboration that would reinforce their commitment to the ideal of a compassionate global community as well as the importance of individual courage.
The resulting book represents the two authors’ distinct visions, their shared values and mutual spirit of cooperation. With Cole’s words and Sheikh’s photos we are confronted with fundamental and newly necessary questions of coexistence: who is my neighbor? Who is kin to me? Who is a stranger? What does it mean to be human?
Teju Cole (born 1975) is a Brooklyn-based novelist, essayist and photographer. His honors include the PEN/Hemingway Award, the Internationaler Literaturpreis and a Guggenheim Fellowship. Cole’s photography book Blind Spot was shortlisted for the Paris Photo―Aperture Foundation PhotoBook Awards. He is the photography critic of the New York Times Magazine and Gore Vidal Professor of the Practice of Creative Writing at Harvard University.
The photographs of Fazal Sheikh (born 1965) have been exhibited internationally from Tate Modern, London, to the Metropolitan Museum and United Nations Headquarters in New York and the Mapfre Foundation, Madrid. The author of 15 monographs, many published by Steidl, Sheikh is currently the Currie C. and Thomas A. Barron Visiting Professor in the Environment and the Humanities at Princeton University.

hardcover. Condition: Nuovo (New). Prima edizione (First Edition). 97 fotografie in bianco e nero di Fazal Sheikh e testi di Teju Cole . Cm 22x15. pp. 256. . Nuovo (New). . Prima edizione (First Edition). . Negli ultimi 25 anni Fazal Sheikh ha messo in luce la condizione degli sfollati e dei rifugiati in tutto il mondo. Ha fotografato persone cacciate dalle loro case a causa della guerra e quelle sconvolte dalla ridefinizione dei confini nazionali e dalla riaffermazione delle divisioni razziali ed etniche. Sheikh ha anche realizzato fotografie sublimi di paesaggi alterati da crisi politiche e ambientali.Come atto di rifiuto di queste tendenze politiche, Sheikh ha cercato il celebre romanziere e critico Teju Cole per una collaborazione che rafforzasse il loro impegno verso l'ideale di una comunità globale compassionevole.Il libro che ne è scaturito rappresenta le visioni distinte dei due autori, i loro valori condivisi e il reciproco spirito di cooperazione. Con le parole di Cole e le foto di Sheikh ci confrontiamo con domande fondamentali e di nuova necessità sulla coesistenza: chi è il mio vicino? Chi è mio parente? Chi è un estraneo? Cosa significa essere umani?. Book. Seller Inventory # bc_230374
