Publisher's Description
Kapadokya was born after D'Agostin spent three days on the back of a motorcycle exploring the Turkish region capturing elements from its history and geology to create an evocative look into a remote place on the planet. Opening a new portal into the viewer's imagination, the black and white imagery ranges from the well known balloon rides and the exceptional natural wonders of the region to the lesser seen angles in caves that were once home to civilizations such as the Assyrians , Persians, Greeks, Romans and Byzantines. D'Agostin highlights the mythological feeling of a place in the region currently abandoned and almost ghostlike; exploring whether this region will be taken over by a future kingdom or left in mystery to tell stories of inhabitants past.
Kapadokya is the third chapter of Nomadic Editions, a series of books in which D'Agostin explores a subject for as long as a tourist would visit a location or experience an event, without going back. A one-time experience in which the moment becomes the only possibility. Following Etna (Nomadic Editions, 2013) and Acrobats (Nomadic Editions, 2014), Kapadokya continues D'Agostin's exploration of the world around him.
