With Mi’raj (Arabic for “ladder” or “ascension”), his first full length monograph with TIS books, J Carrier builds upon ideas explored in his book Elementary Calculus (MACK, 2012): notions of distance and destination, of hope and providence. He also scrutinizes more recent preoccupations: faith, futility, and the possibility of transcendence. Working over several years, Carrier chose to survey the Old City, East and West Jerusalem, and other areas in the West Bank, engaging directly with the real and tangible artifacts of thousands of years of history and belief. Using an iterative and recursive process, Carrier’s result is a deft photographic landscape woven from the fragments of parallel and divergent realities.
