<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Between 1991 and 2015, Josef Koudelka completed an epic journey across twenty countries bordering the Mediterranean, stopping at over 200 Greek and Roman archaeological sites, relentlessly researching the beauty of the ancient world.00Before the Magnum photographer, nobody had attempted to make such a comprehensive photographic record of these artefacts with so much persistence and so little assistance. Koudelka's aim was to use art to re-appropriate a world that is escaping us and that we could lose ? a world where the mind alternates between reason and faith, law and liberty.00Exhibition: Bibliotháeque Nationale de France, Paris, France (21.04.-19.07.2020).<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>Ruins</i> is the newest monograph by acclaimed Magnum photographer and bestselling author, Josef Koudelka.</b> <p/> For more than twenty years, Koudelka has traveled through the Mediterranean--visiting places such as Italy, Libya, Greece, and Syria--to photograph more than two hundred archaeological sites. Stark and mesmerizing panoramic photographs take the viewer to Delphi, Pompeii, Petra, Carthage, and other ancient locations, including sites now greatly altered or destroyed due to recent conflict. <i>Ruins</i> is a monument of architectural and cultural history, as well as civilizations long past. Published to coincide with a major exhibition at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, this volume includes enlightening texts by a Greek studies expert, curator, and agricultural engineer that cast another look at antiquity and its ruins.
