Περιγραφή εκδότη

Go Down, Moses is an interdisciplinary book project that was conceived from the outset as a sequence of photographs existing in a relation to a parallel body of text. The book is about a place in the process of becoming a tourist enclave and what has precipitated such a condition.

Tourism in Sinai could be traced to Sinai’s mythical register as ‘wilderness.’ This image of the landscape becomes a central trope in the book. The book explores issues of space, place and landscape by means of a sequence of photographs in combination with of eight newly commissioned essays. Text is various registers, ranging from short ethnographies to personal essays. During the course of the project I commissioned writers from diverse backgrounds to reflect on some of the issues I encountered during the fieldwork. Reciprocally, the dialogues that ensued came to re-inform my work in situ. The writers were not to write based on the content of the photographs but were to follow their own line of investigation.
