Where is the world’s “true” center?

Does the world revolve around us, or them? Is the time now ripe for a revival of the geocentrism vs. heliocentrism debate, recast in modern form?

Indonesia, India, Benin, Peru, Mongolia, Japan: the images here capture vast steppes, 5,000-meter peaks, expanses of scorched red-brown earth—lands utterly unlike anything most of us know from our daily lives—together with the people who dwell there in adherence to their own treasured values and traditions. When their eyes confront ours, we cannot but remember the series’ theme, “the center of the world,” and wonder: Where is this center, truly? Here, where we viewers stand now? Or there, among the people of the so-called margins of the globe? Their gazes, staring out at us from their photos, unsettle our notions of centrality and upend the way we see the world.

A sequel to Boundary (Seigensha, 2021), this volume presents the first new works in four years by a photographer who has journeyed to more than 140 countries and regions around the globe.
