An uncut diamond at the edge of the world, the country’s surreal and sublime nature is explored through a striking and vast collection of visual essays.
David Palazón’s curious nature and unique sense of humour bring us close into the hearts and lives of Timorese people, capturing the fleeting, incidental moments of those he met on his journey through this young nation. A country of unparalleled beauty, yet unrivalled contradictions, where old traditions collide with new modern worlds, and the sacred meets the profane.
8 years in the making, this photobook is the first of-its-kind coming out from the youngest nation in Asia. It also features carefully selected contributions by leading authors, artists, and photographers, giving further depth to this outstanding visual exploration of this young nation. An unconventional gem of a photobook, and a must-have for anyone interested in Timor-Leste. Miss it at your peril!
