This amazing photobook by Franco-Solvenian photographer Klavdij Sluban, is a documentation of a rail journey between Eastern Europe and China. Literature and travel are the basis of his poetic and magical black and white photographs. For Klavdij Sluban, the aura of the picture is the only decisive criterion. He transfers the impact of the novel as a forerunner of cinema and the visual reception of literature to his seeing and photography. This semantic transmission allows Klavdij Sluban to create timeless images and spread the decelerating effects of his landscapes, scenes and portraits before us. "His new book "East to East" brings together photographs that he has made during extensive travels in the East, frequently following the route of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Sluban's use of deep blacks and backlit silhouettes embues his work with a highly individual photographic style. These powerful images are remarkably moody and atmospheric and permeated with a strange melancholy and an overwhelming sense of isolation. This is deeply memorable work." interviewed on the Beyond Obvious blog by Andreas Paradise Beautifully printed and designed, with 67 full-page photos, this exquisite photobook was winner of the 2009 European Publishers Award for Photography.
