Publisher Description: Windows is the debut volume of photographer Xavier Guardans (born 1954). This limited edition of the trade volume is slipcased and includes a signed and numbered print. Guardans' portraits of individuals from a variety of Kenyan tribes--including Turkana, Samburu, Masai, Rendille, Gabra and Pokot--were shot through the window of his Toyota Land Cruiser. His world is both dark and light, and is elegantly expressed in his choice of black-and-white film. These images balance the solid and ephemeral. Windows is the first in a series of five books to be published featuring Guardans' long-term photographic projects. |
