Jenkins Johnson Gallery is very pleased to present the second part of the LightYears project a new exhibition by Gerald Förster
"For we are nothing upon the page but points of light in pilgrimage..." - Anthony Smith
LightYears is the astonishing result of Gerald Förster's decade-long exploration of cultural beauty and its complex relationship to geographical identity. Förster began the journey in 1994, traveling to some remote and extraordinary locations in the world in his quest to discover the most captivating expressions of cultural individuality and human commonality.
