It is the story of an unbroken promise.
The one, photographer Reza made to his son, Delazad, of an initiatory journey around the world. The book of the first part of this trip,
between Beijing and Paris, has just been published (in French).

“I think being face to face with the “unknown” will bring Delazad to question his own identity and roots. I believe meeting something radicallly different is like being in front of a mirror, discovering ourselves.”
Reza

“Apparently, you’ve to listen to local people that you meet and not keep staying on prejudices, be they yours or theirs. So, we make our route, then change and make it anew, continuously adapting. Well, all these changes are getting a little on my nerves.”
Delazad
