Sinekatalog’s take
A wordless tapestry of sacred rituals, factories and landscapes, photographed with breathtaking clarity. It invites you to draw your own meaning from the juxtapositions. A hypnotic experience best seen on a big screen.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
