Etat : Good. This book explores the world of present-day travel andtourism to Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan with words and images based on actual happenings. The journal, Kafkanistan, explores how we are all influenced by the media. Believing that many of us will never visit the region and all we know about it is what we read in the newspapers and what we see on television, the authors were interested in perceptions based on the media versus their reality as visitors. These are, through first-hand experience and interviews with the local people and the objects in their lives, documented in this book. However, this is not a straightforward journal, because through their inquiry, the travelers discovered that the real world of the tourist this region has, is so bizarre, that it is a surreal one.Thus each man adopted an identity, to better integrate in his travels through the universe of Kafkanistan, to aptly describe their experiences. Here is an image of a world that is based on and which represents actual happenings that are so unusual that they seem to be the work of fiction.…

With the same expertise with which he produced his first book, Kafkanistan, Lukas Birk produces for his audience a travel photography book that transcends all others in the genre. Plagued by a sense of stagnation in his central European home, Birk relocated to Beijing, where he encountered a group of like-minded young creatives also aiming to craft their better selves through development within their own artistic work. Inspired by his new surroundings and friends, Birk endeavored to communicate his feeling of "nostalgia teetering on the edge of melancholy." It was then that he discovered his father's collection of expired Polaroid cassettes. Salvaging the film cassettes from their would-be dumpster grave, Birk artfully breathed new life not only into the film, but also into his creative process. As he traveled through Xian, Shanghai, Pingyao, Lijiang, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, among other locales, Birk focused not on the documentation of fact, but of feeling. In her insightful foreword, art advisor Katherine Don details Birk's contribution to contemporary art in China and comments on his pioneering artistry. With Birk's medium acting as a metaphor for the transformation of modern China - its rapid development and the void of nostalgia left behind - Polaroids from the Middle Kingdom presents a sense of something from the past interrupted by modern motives, a collision of old and new world visions. Birk's stunning collection of inventive imagery captures the vibrancy of contemporary life, inspired by the filter of his own nostalgia and longing.…

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. 'Afghan Box Camera' documents a living form of photography in danger of disappearing forever. Known as the kamra-e-faoree ('instant camera'), Afghanistan is one of the last places on earth where it has continued to be used by photographers as a way of making a living. Hand-made out of wood, it is a camera and darkroom in one, and generations of Afghans have had their portraits taken with it, usually for identity documents. Under the Taliban, with the banning of photography, it was even outlawed, forcing photographers to hide or destroy their tools. Spanning decades, from peacetime to war, box camera photography in Afghanistan exists within a more sophisticated photographic history. The same photographers who ply their trade with the humble kamra-e-faoree may also make large format black and white portraits, which are then hand-coloured with exquisite artistry. With the help of dozens of Afghan photographers, 'Afghan Box Camera' illustrates the technique and artistry of a previously untold and visually enthralling photographic culture. 'Afghan Box Camera' documents a living form of photography in danger of disappearing forever. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
