Celestial Nights, Aperture Press 2001.

Folberg writes: “I have spent entire nights gazing at the night sky. Imagination is always the better part of the view. This is the metaphor of these photographs: the horizon between knowledge and imagination, between the present and eternity, between substance and spirit, certainty and doubt. These visions were inspired by nights spent under the mysterious, starlit nights of the Sinai desert.”
Michael Kimmelman, critic for the NY Times, wrote: “Photography, it turns out, has never really been about the truth; in the end, it has always been about awe. In Folberg’s case, it is about a little of both. The awe derives from the mysterious effect of bringing the heavens near while making the earth look otherworldly – precisely the feeling you have while standing in a faraway landscape under a full sky at night.”

Prints are in the collections of numerous museums, among them the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
