Surrounded by a veil of ancient beliefs and tales of supernatural phenomena, the isolated sandstone tablelands of the Guiana Highlands remain some of the least explored areas of our planet. When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle published his famous 1912 novel about a group of daring explorers visiting a mysterious South American plateau, they were given a new name - The Lost Worlds. While unremarkable on a map, seen as just borders of three South American countries, to the botanist explorer, photographer and author Mateusz Wrazid they hold a far deeper significance: a 'world at the edge of worlds'. Intertwining photography taken during his expeditions with personal reflections and quotes from the historical accounts of explorers, Rapture reveals the author's lifelong obsession with this mysterious cradle of South American biodiversity and its natural treasures. It is a sumptuous letter of appreciation dedicated to a realm where fantasy and reality intertwine.
