Opis: Rapture : A Journey to the Lost World - Mateusz Wrazidlo

Nestled within the dark heart of the South American interior is a place which evades all forms of human comprehension. A raw, primordial world still thriving in stubborn isolation despite centuries of humankind’s daring exploits. The Guiana Shield - a gateway to some of the oldest geological formations on our planet, nearly two billion years in the making, filled with ancient landscapes and relic life forms straight out of a fantasy novel.

When in 1912 Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published his famous story about a group of explorers visiting a mysterious plateau, it was given a new name - “The Lost World”. In Rapture, photographer and naturalist Mateusz Wrazidlo presents his lifelong obsession with this mysterious cradle of South American biodiversity. It is a sumptuous letter of appreciation dedicated to a realm where fantasy and reality intertwine.

With expedition photographs, personal reflections and quotes from historical accounts of explorers, Rapture takes us on a journey through an incredible diversity of environments and landscapes, ranging from the stifling humidity and heat of the Amazon selva, through sun-scorched grassy highlands, the cold, misty cloud forests, to the mystical, dark and eerily silent summits of the tepui plateaus.
