Photographs of the Orient by Katharina Eglau
The Near and Middle East are the cradle of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. A fascinating web of cultures, religious practices, and ethical principles developed due to this co-existence. However, since then the Orient has increasingly been the source of fanaticism, narrow-mindedness, and violence in the name of religion and autocracy.
Katharina Eglau and her husband, the late Middle East correspondent Martin Gehlen have been observing the beauty and the crises of the Orient.
