Description

This large-format book pictures Adi Da's black-and-white photographic art from 2000-2001. Adi Da presents his images in suites, rather than as single images. Each suite can have anywhere from a few images to several hundred.

In this first publication of his art, we see a selection of 12 suites, each very different in quality: a "meditation" on a rock that rises out the of the ocean, a series of sensual and playful images set in a city, a look at human personalities as "shattered" phenomena, and so on. Every suite takes the viewer on an artistic, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual journey.

Most of Adi Da's images in this book are highly sophisticated and complex multiple exposures, often involving more than two (and even as many as ten or more) superimposed layers, shot in camera.
