The Bamiyan cliff after its destruction seen by the photographer

Pascal Convert photographed the Bâmiyân cliff in Afghanistan, 15 years after the destruction of the monumental Buddhas by the Taliban. His photos are published today in a very beautiful book by Atelier EXB. Incredibly sharp images in black and white. The grains of sand melt into the stone and the dune envelops everything, sometimes covered with a white coat of snow. A cliff like a living being in the eye of the photographer.
