The first part is Taxi: Travelling through the desert is difficult. Water is a problem, all-terrain vehicles can get stuck, the heat and the cold wear you down. But sometimes getting to the desert is an even bigger task than travelling there.
Dasht-e Lut, the second part, is an immersion into the wonderful world of the desert with large empty plains, sand dunes up to 300 metres, strangely shaped Kaluts. And the vastness, the eye-catching emptiness that radiates tranquillity and makes you dream.
All printed on the right paper to match the photos. The title sheet is letterpress printed, the whole is hand-accumulated and hand-bound with a cahier stitch to create a refined whole.
NOTE BENE: the cover of Dasht-e Lut will show wear and weathered edges, just like the desert itself. This is part of the concept: the book shows the desert in all its facets.
