Book synopsis

Heavenwards is Nicolas Faure s answer to Rainer Maria Rilke's question in the first Duino Elegy (1912): Who, if I cried out, would hear me among the Angelic Orders? At first sight Faure s photographs seem to show nothing but forests, rivers and light, but in each picture there is something hiding a human being, an animal or perhaps even an angel as the book's subtitle suggests. In Rilke's words, Perhaps there remains some tree on a slope that we can see again each day: there remains to us yesterday's street, and the thinned-out loyalty of a habit that liked us, and so stayed, and never departed.
