Condition: as new. [s.l.] : Aperture, 2004. Hardcover 128 pp. English text. Condition as new. - For more than a quarter of a century, Afghanistan has been ravaged by war, drought and famine. In this magnificent volume, Afghan-born photographer Zalmai returns home after 23 years in exile to rediscover his homeland at a crucial moment of transition. Working in rich color, and frequently using a panoramic format that embraces the vastness of the sky and sand, Zalmai immerses us in the ravaged landscape and the bustle of reconstruction. "My project tries to capture the resilience of a people who have rarely known peace, their optimism in the face of overwhelming odds and the very real worry that the country remains on a knife-edge and could easily slip back into a nightmare from which it is still trying to escape." Photographer Zalmaļ fled his native Kabul with his brother at the age of 15 upon the Soviet invasion. Long after becoming a citizen of Switzerland and an estimable freelancer, he recently returned to Afghanistan for the third time (officially to document the country post-9/11 for a U.S. magazine) to find his subjects instilled with "an incredible life force that had survived despite everything." This dynamic yet sobering book features 80 full-color and five duotone images. Set generously within the 11¾"×8-5/8" pages, the reproductions powerfully excerpt life amidst reconstruction in Afghanistan following the fall of the Taliban, the installment of a transitional government and the return of more than three million Afghan refugees. Using color film (as he writes in his preface, "war drains the color out of life"), Zalmaļ documented the daily struggles of the Afghan people against the omnipresence of international politics with a tenebrous but fond lens. His photos of markets, schools, destroyed villages, Afghanistan's new leader, Hamid Karzai, among cohorts in various meetings, and families in transit, waiting on the borders of Pakistan, showcase a liminal state of democracy. The physical terrain is not totally unfamiliar to foreign viewers, due to the abundant media visuals internationally broadcast over the past few years, but Zalmaļ's portraits of these lives are carefully wrought, displaying a poverty that, as one caption solemnly puts it, wants to be seen. Condition : as new copy. ISBN 9781931788496. Keywords : PHOTOGRAPHY, Afghanistan.
