“In 2006, to fulfill a long-held dream, widely acclaimed photographer Michael Poliza and friend Stefan Breuer undertook a helicopter journey across Africa. Skimming close to the ground, they flew over 19 countries. Poliza’s alluring—and often surprising—photographs share this exceptional journey with the world. With a bird’s-eye view, we witness the astounding beauty, scale and diversity of this imposing continent. The accompanying texts give a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the photographs, and brief background to some of the most fascinating subject matters.” In 2007 TeNeues published an XXL collector’s edition of Poliza’s Eyes over Africa, limited to 300 numbered and signed copies, each accompanied by a high-quality original lithography print. The edition has long been sold out, of course, but every now and then a copy comes on the market. On Sunday November 1 a copy will be hammered off at Catawiki.
