Meanwhile Across the Mountain

Jens Olof Lasthein (1964)

Synopsis

Jens Olof Lasthein's photographic book presents an intimate portrait of the Caucasus, a region bridging Europe and Asia. Using a panoramic camera, Lasthein captures the dynamic interaction of cultures, languages, and religions where Islam meets Christianity. Despite ongoing tensions post-Soviet Union, the diverse nationalities remain interconnected by shared history. The images depict vibrant everyday life amidst this seldom-recognized part of the world, focusing on the concept of borderlands. The book is the culmination of years spent traveling in the area, offering a broader perspective on a region often highlighted only in times of conflict.
