In late 2017, following a two-year recovery from a bad car accident, Saalik Khan spent six weeks in China making the project “Red Dust:” an at times eerily serene view of the nation. Khan is reticent about labeling himself a photographer, seeing the images as evidence of a personal journey and documents of an aesthetic reaction more than of a will to document or record in any formal sense. We spoke to him about creative rebirth and the impact of one book led to him taking a new path in his life.
