Venezuela Inwards 2025: Venezuela Inward, photodocumentary book which offers a visual narrative of the photographic journey started by Orlando D'Elia in 2002. Hardcover – September 19, 2025

“Venezuela Inward 2025” is a plain and honest book that goes straight to the point. Although, it does fulfil a didactic objective that is usually reserved to encyclopedias, “Venezuela Inward 2025” is something else. It is an emotional book, not to say a loving book, where the photographer appointed to do the job is the same person charged with the literary description of the takes shown in the pages of the book, takes that demonstrate the author’s conviction that Venezuela is, as far as visual material is concerned, one the most beautiful countries in Latin America. Thus, “Venezuela Inward 2025” stands out as the tribute of a man who has dedicated most of his life to take pictures of his homeland, the country with which the photographer, Orlando D’Elia, is playing his luck with this memory-book.None of the encyclopedic publications made in Venezuela with a didactic purpose have such an extensive and thorough record of all the topology of the country; area by area, leaving no place out, like what the photographer Orlando D’Elia offers us in his work. It is not only a general vision of the country, but rather a detailed vision, one where nothing is left behind in order to show us places and sites that no one had mentioned before. Now we know a little bit better our homeland, each corner we travel is duly accounted for. The author set out to include places and sites that others had omitted, without giving too much consideration to the rhetorical nor laying to much on the mythological.It is a practical guide offered to the tourists and travelers and also to the common dweller. The person who thought out the book is not an amateur photographer but rather a professional of the genre, who has dedicated most of his professional career to photography in its broader sense, making of landscaping his specialty. Most of the work published in “Venezuela Inward 2025” is a step by step narrative of his journey along the roads of Venezuela.When we say that “Venezuela Inward 2025” is an encyclopedic project we mean that the visual memory it displays is duly explained: it is accompanied by the description and labeling of each and every take of the compendium.“Venezuela Inward 2025” should be included in the mass book category aimed at popular distribution, since it addresses all readers and emphasizes aspects of the country that the official propaganda had not taken into account before, with the same humility and parsimony of the peasants.
