For more than a quarter of a century, Afghanistan has been ravaged by war, drought, and famine. In this magnificent volume, Zalmaï, Afghan-born photographer, returns after twenty-three 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, Zalmaï 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.

Limited edition of 500 numbered copies each with a small signed print   Nazraeli Press published Susan A. Zadeh?s first monograph, ?Drowned in a Dream? to critical acclaim in Spring of 2019, and we are delighted to announce her first contribution to our One Picture Book Two series.   Comprising ten self-portraits made specifically for this book, ?I? is an intimate, vaguely surreal take on a timeless approach to image making, with the artist herself as the subject.   Persian by ancestry and birth, Zadeh moved to France as a child, and then to Holland as a teenager. She has lived in Amsterdam ever since. Originally trained as a classical dancer, after a 12-year career at the Dutch National Ballet in Amsterdam she turned to photography and publishing. Zadeh became well-known as a champion of outsider artists through her seminal art magazine ?Eyemazing?, which ran from 2002 to 2013 and which received a coveted Lucie Award. Since then, she has concentrated on her own work as an artist.   Limited to 500 numbered copies, each book includes a 190 mm x 130 mm original print that has been signed by the artist.
