Description

Desert is a profound photographic tribute to the Sahara and African landscapes, capturing Raymond Depardon’s sixty-year career as a photojournalist and filmmaker. Spanning 11 countries, from his first 1960 assignment in Algeria to his later explorations in Chad, Ethiopia, and Mauritania, the book presents a place of silence, vastness, and human resilience. These monochromatic images, printed on sandy-toned Munken Pure paper, are accompanied by texts from Depardon and the 2024 Prix Goncourt winner Kamel Daoud, exploring the desert as a modern space of both hostility and inner peace.
