Product Description

Book Description

Zalmaï’s extraordinary and unforgettable photographs capture the slow, distressing drift of exile and dispossession. Eclipse documents a journey through ambiguous territories—from Cuba to India, Mali to the Philippines, Indonesia to Egypt, and a return to his native Afghanistan.

About the Author

Born in Kabul, Afghanistand, in 1964, Zalmai fled his homeland in 1980 to escape the occupation of the Soviet Army. He found a new home in Switzerland, where he studied at the School of Creative Photography, Lausanne; and at the Center of Professional Education in Photography, Yverdon. Since his first solo show at 16/25 Gallery, Lausanne, he has had numerous others at museums and galleries throughout Europe. More recently, Zalmai's exhibition Afghanistan, produced by the International Red Cross, toured Switzerland, Germany, and Austria. His work has also been included in important group exhibitions, such as the World Press, Joop Swart Master Class 1997, Foire D'Arts de Bale, Switzerland, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, and Nyon, Switzerland. Zalmai has been a freelance photographer for publications such as the New York Times, Outside Magazine, the Geneva Tribune, Le Temps, L'Hbdo, and Reflex Magazine, and has covered stories in India, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Thailand, Burma, Indonesia, the Philippines, Egypt, Cuba, and the United States. He currently resides in New York.

5.0 out of 5 stars A true eye-opening Classic, Dec 14 2003

This review is from: Eclipse (Hardcover)
This book is amazing. Once you start reading it, you get hooked and can't put it down. You just have to see whats on the next page. This book is beautifully photographed. The way its photographed just strikes you. The photographs are filled with melancholy, and show the hardships that people go through everyday. People who come to my house call this book amazing. It really shows you whats going on in the world today. Humanitarians will embrace this bookand only ignorant people will turn it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reality, in a rare form, Dec 14 2003
By Sulymon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Eclipse (Hardcover)
This book has a magnetic power that draws you into the pictures. This is all that could be said. This book doesn't have a lot written in it, but it doesn't need anything more. Just by looking at the pictures, you understand what is going on. It is an eye opening view into the lives of people all around the world.
