THE HAJJ (2000-2003)
For the Saudi princess Reem Al Faisal, photography is a means of honouring God’s presence. With THE HAJJ she reports on the pilgrimage to Mecca which every Moslem must undertake once in his life. But Reem Al Faisal – herself a Muslim – does not confine herself to recording religious expressions. With her photographs she wants to also reveal the divine in man and nature. Thus she sees the presence of light as one of the many manifestations of God in everyday life.
