EXILS. Josef KOUDELKA, Original 1997 edition in large format, large edition, hardcover, with illustrated dust jacket, Delpire Editeur, complete and in EXCELLENT condition!

In 1970, after working as a reporter during the Soviet invasion, Josef Koudelka renounced his Czech citizenship, became stateless and began a long journey: the journey of exile. Crossing the borders of Europe, as a free man, he photographed what he saw: places, objects, souls. These life images exude an unbelievable depth and power. Both nomadic and visionary, Koudelka depicts a world where the tragic seeps into daily life. The selection of images offered by Exils takes us on a journey that tells us as much about being as about elsewhere and which today has a particular poignancy, at a moment when Europe is shaken by crises.

One of Josef Koudelka's most famous and emblematic photography books. “Exils” constitutes a complete and exhaustive photographic album of the artist's work, during a long stateless stay in the meanders of central Europe in the 1970s!
