"End Time City (English Scalo Edition)", a photo book by Michael Ackerman, a photographer born in Tel Aviv, Israel. Ackerman moved to New York at the age of 7 (self-proclaimed American) and has been active as a freelancer since the 1990s. Currently belonging to the French photo agency'VU', he continues to present original works that play art and journalism through magical monochrome, and is currently attracting a lot of attention worldwide. Three photo books have been published so far, but this book is the 1st photo book published in 1999, and is a masterpiece that made Ackerman's name roar to the world after receiving the Nadar Award. It is composed of illustrations that capture the daily life of the great Hindu sanctuary "Varanasi (Benares)" located along the Ganges River. Many pilgrims from home and abroad visit and take a bath, while the religious people wait for their death in search of liberation. A masterpiece of monochrome journalism that captures the mysterious scene of "life" and "death" in a unique approach. An English version published by the now-defunct Swiss publisher Scalo.
