Samuel Zuder : Face to Faith. Mount Kailash – Tibet

“In 2012, Samuel Zuder (*1965) set out to one of the most fascinating places in the world. According to legend, the yogi Milarepa was the only one to have scaled it in the twelfth century, although thousands of pilgrims circumambulated it: Mount Kailash—also known as the “Jewel of Snow” due to its unusually symmetrical form—in the middle of the rocky desert of Tibet’s Changthang plateau. (…) With his large-format, analogue camera, Zuder accompanied pilgrims over a period of several weeks on their approximately fifty-three-kilometer-long path around Mount Kailash—which they regard as the origin of the world—to capture its silent grandeur.” (extrait du texte de présentation de l’éditeur).
