"The Last Testament (Signed)" is a photobook by Norwegian photographer Jonas Bendiksen. At the age of 19, he worked as an intern at Magnum Photos, where seeing the vast archives inspired him to pursue a career as a true photographer. After his internship, he moved to the former Soviet Union. The series of photographs he took there were included in his first book, "Satellites" (2006), and two years after its publication, he became a full member of Magnum. Since then, he has covered slums around the world, publishing "The Places We Live" (2008), which depicts the harsh conditions there, and in recent years he has also participated in Magnum's "Home" project, exhibiting his work. This book is Bendiksen's latest work, with "Jesus Christ" and "religion" as its motifs. This massive 468-page book, titled "The Last Testament" (instead of the Old and New Testaments), features interviews with seven men who believe in the Second Coming of Christ. It includes not only photographs but also the photographer's own texts and even email correspondence with the men. Signed by the photographer .
