Reviews

I travel between the spiritual boundaries, at the crossroads of the forgotten kingdoms, where the faiths and traditions of the weakest and most defenceless sparkle, with their fragile and helpless resistance, their capacity for dialogue and encounter. Walking with the nomads, with the fleeing minorities, with the pilgrims, looking for the beauty in the dark places of the world – solidarity in war, the cracks in the theory of the so-called clash of civilizations, where the gods seem at war with each other, evoked by presidents, terrorists and bandits. I imagine a visual atlas of minorities at risk and of shared sacred places, which confuses mental maps of the sacred based on exclusions. Clandestine geographies, stratifications of memories, of places-bridges, indecipherable for barbarians, where the metaphors of initiations and recipes for survival have been whispered for centuries. Year after year the map gets longer, I add a piece, a splinter, a spark. Everything happens in the grace of an encounter. Tenderness is the go-between. Find out more
