Yemen,
a fertile and wealthy land, is a country with over
7000 years of history that to this day maintains
its distinct character. One of the most untouched
and unexpected places where you step back to the
history. The way of life, traditions and centuries
old architecture make Yemen a living museum.
However
what are the most intact and least disturbed by
the influence of modern living is the purity and
simplicity of the life and people. No matter where
you are in the country you will be overwhelmed by
the authenticity, more remote areas you go to more
intense will be this feeling.
In
this exhibition Yemen is presented through the lens
of acclaimed photographers travelled who to Yemen
in March and May 2009; A treasure trove for all
of them, a paradise
for photographers.
The
project “Yemen. A treasure trove” has been organized
