Passage to Angkor - Softcover
Of all the sacred sites that Kenro Izu has photographed since 1979, Angkor Wat is undoubtedly his spiritual and psychological base camp. While he has so often succeeded in representing the sacred and ancient landscape, Angkor Wat is the creative thread that weaves itself through all of his work. Angkor Wat is the touchstone - it supports Izu's output and indeed holds it together like the geometrical matrix of the spider's web.
For these reasons, Passage to Angkor artfully reexamines this most important aspect of Izu's career spanning the last quarter century, presenting Izu's most accomplished Angkor Wat photographs in a rarefied book form that is remarkable for its physical beauty.
Passage to Angkor is accomplished by poems by Helen Ibbitson Jessup that were inspired by Izu's photographs. Proceeds will be donated to Friends without a Border, a charity founded in 1995 by Kenro Izu as a way of returning something to Cambodia for the many images he captured there.

From the publisher: "Of all the sacred sites that Izu has photographed since 1979, Angkor Wat is undoubtedly his spiritual and psychological base camp. While he has so often succeeded in representing the sacred and ancient landscape, Angkor Wat is the creative thread that weaves itself through all of his work. Angkor Wat is the touchstone-it supports Izu's output, and indeed holds it together like the geometrical matrix of the spider's web. For these reasons, Passage to Angkor, artfully re-examines this most important aspect of Izu's stunning career spanning the last quarter century, presenting Izu's most accomplished Angkor Wat photographs in a rarefied book form that is remarkable for it's physical beauty. Passage to Angkor will undoubtedly rank among the most important publications of these timeless and limitless photographs that depict one of the world's most mystical places. Passage to Angkor is accompanied by poems by Helen Ibbitson Jessup that were inspired by Izu's photographs. Passage to Angkor is also a traveling exhibition that opens December 4, 2003, at New York's Sepia Gallery.
