THE VISIONARY STATE: A JOURNEY THROUGH CALIFORNIA'S SPIRITUAL LANDSCAPE (United States, 2006)
California, the birthplace of the internet, aerospace industry and Disneyland, exercises massive influence on popular culture. With its open and liberal character, the Golden State is also rich in spiritual traditions. Photographer and visual artist Michael Rauner and writer Erik Davis traveled in and around California for two years as pilgrims. They documented religious interventions in the landscape, with an eye for both the work of famous architects and unknown folk artists.
