The photographer Alessandra Meniconzi has spent a decade travelling along the over 2000 year-old trade route that links East and West: the Silk Road. On her mountain bike, she followed the traces of the countless merchants that once transported valuable spices, fabrics and jewellery along this route from Turkey via Uzbekistan and Tajikistan to Tibet, and from Pakistan over the Hindu Kush and on to China. On her travels, she not only crossed the endless steppes and some of the most impressive mountain ranges in the world, her sensitive, understanding nature allowed her to gain access to lives that often remain hidden to the photographer's lens. The photographs featured in this collection provide a comprehensive, personal insight into the lives of people who live along the former Silk Roads and are fighting for the survival of their traditions in modern Asia.
