Well known for his personality-filled photographs of cats in the Mediterranean sun, Hans Silvester here reveals another fascination: beautiful handmade kites in flight. These spectacular kites range from folk art with centuries of tradition attached to themthe round barrilets flown on the Day of the Dead in Guatemala, and giant Japanese kites that require teams of handlers to flyto true airborne art, paintings and abstract sculptures. Among these are musical notes on a flying staff, a Magritte-like silhouette floating near some misty rings, a somber face among a tangle of dead trees, a running dog in an Italian sky, and a whole flock of bird kites.
