              Situated over 2,000 miles from the nearest population center, Easter Island (Rapa Nui) is a remote triangle of volcanic rock defined by profound isolation and legendary stone monoliths. Over a period of two years, acclaimed British photographer Michael Kenna visited the island to document its rugged terrain and iconic moai<\/em> statues.<\/div>\n
              <\/div>\n<\/div>\n
              \n
              Using his signature long-exposure techniques\u2014often working at dawn, dusk, or deep into the night\u2014Kenna captures atmospheric details and residual memories that the naked human eye cannot perceive. Printed in rich duotone on fine matte art paper, the forty plates in this volume pay silent homage to the physical geography of the island and the enduring enigma of its ancient past. The book opens with an insightful introduction by photography historian Bill Jay, exploring the rich history and speculation surrounding the island.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
