The desire to portray a segment of the authentic Morocco led Judith Lanius to the small remote town of Risssani in southeastern Morocco. Rissani: Morocco's Gateway to the Sahara is the first photographic book which focuses on the life of a small town next to the Sahara.
The people of Rissani; the quotidian life of the town; the surrounding dwellings and the Sahara itself are all the subject of this book.
