Neil Folberg Celestial Nights /anglais - Tapa dura

This series of new and compelling night images of the ancient land and skies of Israel offers the viewer mystical points of entry and departure. The world depicted in Celestial Nights is composed of a delicately constructed order where earthly elements and the heavens mirror each other. Folberg emphasizes the singular and poignant presence of objects against the backdrop of the infinite. His photographs describe places where the spiritual is at once near, imprinted in the forms of the arid landscapes, and far away in the dark, starlit recesses of space.

Neil Folberg, a former student and colleague of the late Ansel Adams, is widely known for his landscapes and images of "built environments." Born in San Francisco and raised in the mid-west, Folberg has lived with his family in Jerusalem since 1976. Timothy Ferris is the bestselling author of Coming of Age in the Milky Way.
