Across Cairo, Ethiopia, Iran and Central Asia, Karen Foster weaves luminous photographs and insightful text into a vivid portrait of lands rich in culture and history.

Tracing a crescent from Cairo to Khiva, art historian and archaeologist Karen Polinger Foster takes us on four unforgettable journeys East of the Moon - to Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran and Central Asia - exploring commonalities and differences in thought and belief, art and architecture, language and literature, tradition and innovation. As her travel experiences unfolded, overarching themes emerged, often from serendipitous inspiration and encounters. From these she has fashioned a beguiling kaleidoscope of photo essays which tessellate into a compelling whole. With a remarkable gift for the telling detail and a photographic eye at once incisive and discreet, Foster's elegant text and stunning images invite us to a place which, in her words, 'exists in the atlas of the mind, at the intersection of image and imagination'.
