"The best I can do is tell the story of my traveling and responding visually to a place I don't necessarily understand. It is the story of not understanding Niigata."Andrew Phelps

In 2009, Andrew Phelps took photographs in Japan's Niigata prefecture for the European Eyes on Japan Festival. This elaborately designed volume presents the artist's selection from the hundreds of images he brought back from his trip.

Andrew Phelps works as a freelance artist in Salzburg, Austria, and is member of the Galerie Fotohof. He has published several photo books and has shown his works in numerous international exhibitions.
