A New Light takes us on a journey through present-day Afghanistan, recorded with an age-old method: a box camera, the kamra-e-faoree, that works both as camera and as darkroom. The twice Pulitzer-winning photojournalist Rodrigo Abd brings the apparatus back to a country where it was once widely used, meeting the citizens of today's Afghanistan through a slow and deeply personal process.

The results are striking in their depth and darkness, at once intimate and revealing. Carrying the nearly fifteen-kilogram camera across the country, and accompanying the pictures with short interviews and descriptive captions, he opens a layered view onto everyday life there today.
