ALA Ebtekar (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9788857252896)

Ebtekar's exposed photographs and illuminated manuscripts incorporate thousand-year-old image-making traditions

Bay Area-based artist Ala Ebtekar (born 1978) draws out the sculptural and photographic possibilities of the universe. Considering light as both a concept and medium, Ebtekar uses UV light, moonlight and starlight in his practice. His photographic works, exposed over days and nights, continue his durational projects in collaboration with celestial bodies.
