A new coffee table book published by The Empty Quarter gallery in DIFC brings together the photographs of Philippe Chancel's Desert Spirit exhibition, which took place earlier this year. Chancel concentrates on the contrasts between the glitzy image of the UAE and its frenetic reality, a place of building, buying and optimism. The book is available at the Empty Quarter fine art photography gallery, DIFC, and costs Dh398.
