内容简介

This large format book presents forty-five dramatic, sumptuous, and empathetic black and white photographs, printed in duotone, with a succinct and poignant text by the photographer. The text tells the story of how, following a diagnosis of HIV positive, the Italian-born author-photographer, then living in New York, undertakes a search for healing and spiritual transformation. This culminates in a Lakota Sioux Healing Ceremony and Vision Quest at the Pine Hill Reservation in South Dakota. While staying at the reservation, the author came to know the Lakota people and love their spirit. The photographs were made during this time of personal crisis and spiritual awakening and this book is dedicated to the Lakota people in appreciation of their warmth and wisdom.
