Bilingual edition in French and Englishįor the Louis Vuitton Fashion Eye collection, the controversial photographer Oliviero Toscani has revisited the Cretto di Burri. This monumental work of art by Alberto Burri incorporates part of the ruins of Gibellina, a small town in Sicily which was devastated by a violent earthquake in 1968. Inspired by the House's travel heritage, the Louis Vuitton Fashion Eye collection presents cities, regions or countries through the eyes of fashion photographers - from new talents to legendary professionals. Each book in the series brings together a wide selection of large format photographs as well as biographical information and an interview with the photographer or a critical essay. This third collection, which follows the City Guides and Travel Books by Louis Vuitton, captures travel photography from a fashion perspective. The selected photographers bring their unique vision of the big cities, distant lands and dream destinations they capture. Developing a practice that melds aspects of documentary photography with a more conceptual approach, all while maintaining a strong presence in the world of fashion, they are sought out by both influential magazines and independent music labels. However, it is in the Carpathians that they feel most at home. As artists who see their existence as an odyssey, they have traversed the American West, Portugal, Iceland and Sri Lanka. Roman Noven and Tania Shcheglova form the duo Synchrodogs and live in Ivano-Frankivsk, a small city about 600 km (370 miles) from Kiev at the edge of the Carpathians. Theirs is an original vision populated by both dreams and nature, a land-art project that ventures into nude photography. Through landscapes, dance and performance, they condemn deforestation and call attention to the plight of endangered species.

Synchrodogs can often be found exploring the Ukrainian Carpathians on motorbike, producing work that offers a fresh perspective on the relationship between human beings and nature.
