ISBN-13: 978-3-86521-819-3, ISBN: 3-86521-819-9

"'The portrait' is central to Fazal Sheikhs work. For more than two decades, as he has worked in different communities around the world, the invitation to sit for a portrait has been one of the principle means by which he has established a link with his subjects and been allowed to enter and document their lives. Often these have been people in crisis: displaced from their homes and their countries, at risk from violence, poverty and pre ..."

Ladli

ISBN-13: 978-3-86521-381-5, ISBN: 3-86521-381-2

"In India it costs a poor family 50 rupees to hire a midwife to oversee the birth of a child. For an additional 10 rupees, the parents are assured that the birth of a girl will be met with an act of infanticide by the midwife. The alternative for many is an institution like the Delhi orphanage, in which Fazal Sheikh's work on the predicament of the girl-child in India begins--and 99 percent of that orphanage's population are girls. Girl ..."

ISBN-13: 978-3-86930-805-0, ISBN: 3-86930-805-2

Memory Trace, the first book in the trilogy, depicts the ruins caused by the Arab-Israeli War of 1948: portraits of those traumatized by violence, devastated landscapes and fragments of buildings. This visual poem sug ..."

ISBN-13: 978-3-86930-653-7, ISBN: 3-86930-653-X

"The pictures in Ether, Sheikh's first book in colour, were made as a way to honour the experience of death and to try to comprehend its significance. Benares (Varanasi) is one of Indias sacred cities, where many Hindus come to die in the belief that they will find salvation. As he walked its streets by night, Sheikh observed sleeping figures, shrouded in blankets, lost to an oblivion that seemed, in that holy city, to offer a simulacrum ..."

ISBN-13: 978-3-931141-95-0, ISBN: 3-931141-95-0

"Poor Afghanistan. A historical crossroads far away from the world's centers of power, the country has alternately been conquered, fought over by one superpower after another, and ignored. In the 1920s, Afghanistan's rulers embarked on a sweeping program of modernization that, among other things, allowed for at least some measure of civil rights for women. A half century later, after the politically moderate king Nadir Shah was overthrow ..."

This volume focuses on photographs of women, taken in India over the past fi ..."

"For five hundred years the holy city of Vrindavan in northern India has been a haven for India's dispossessed widows. Cast out by their families and condemned by strict marital laws which deny them legal, economic and, in extreme cases, even human rights, they have made their way to the city to worship at its temples and live in its ashrams, surviving on charitable hand-outs or begging on the streets. In Vrindavan they worship the young ..."
