Benoit Aquin, Far East, Far West
Including texts by Olivier Asselin and Patrick Alleyn.

China is currently experiencing an ecological disaster of unprecedented scale: the inexorable desertification of its territory. From Beijing to Kashgar, Benoit Aquin meticulously describes and portrays the terrible transformation of this landscape, its causes and consequences for humanity, and the relative success and failure of the proposed solutions. His images present a singular time frame: long, irreversible, and complete, that of declining civilizations and natural disasters. His view of the world seems absolutely unique, like a first or final glance. -Oliver Asselin
