As they set off for Madagascar in 2003; photographer Max Pam and writer Stephen Muecke adopted as their guiding principle the idea of contingencymdash;central to which is the conscious embrace of risk and chance. In doing so; they established a new aesthetic in which image and text are inextricably linked to the notion of possibility. This stunning collection of photos and essays is the result of their vision; collectively illustrating the beauty and wisdom on offer in one of the worldrsquo;s poorest nations. A contribution to the wave of new ethnography exemplified by Michael Taussig and Kathleen Stewart Allen Shelton; these encounters of events; images and experimental writing dramatize thoughts and feelings in the on-going construction of place.
