Lost Worlds: Ruins of the Americas is a unique visual exploration
that vividly captures the haunting mystery and visual poetry of
historic ruins throughout the Americas. This extraordinary
collection perfectly portrays the architectural, geographic and
historical significance of ruins that are considered world wonders
and also little known gems. Included are monumental temples of
Mexico's Mayan civilization, a Colonial era palace on the island of
Haiti, earthquake-ravaged cathedrals in Guatemala, and astonishing
Incan citadels in Peru's Sacred Valley - culminating with the
breathtaking beauty of Machu Picchu. This unprecedented publication
transports the reader on a journey to ancient temples, abandoned
palaces and lofty citadels. Evocative and enlightening, Lost Worlds
will stir the imagination of those with a passion for photography,
travel, history, architecture, and archaeology. Shot in infra red
format on a specially adapted digital camera, these images expose
crumbling, overgrown walls, broken columns, and cracked arches in
ways most readers have never seen. They will offer readers a new
way of viewing the landscape as well as an enhanced vision of the
collective identity of the Americas. Includes a foreword by noted
travel writer Pico Iyer and text by Arthur Drooker explaining each
site's rise, fall and lasting significance. Published to accompany
a travelling exhibition in the USA opening at the Art Museum of the
Americas in Washington, DC., and touring a further seven venues.
