Samenvatting	Using the mirror as their motif, the Michauds pair traditional Islamic art miniatures, some of which date back several centuries, with their own photographs of the Middle East ... Through their pairings, the photographers provoke a fascinating interplay between past and present, between art and identity ... The photographs cover a period of nearly half a century, while the miniatures accompanying them reach back some eight hundred years. Geographically, the ensemble of both stretch from Morocco in the west to China in the east, embracing the heart of the Muslim world. Further enriching the timeless feel of both photographs and painted miniatures are extracts from the Koran and The Thousand and One Nights, as well as beautiful examples of Arab calligraphy"--Front and back flaps.
