Focusing on relationships taking place in a tidal area, the book is a response to the fragile ecological situation surrounding the city of Saint Louis, Senegal.
Two main series of middle format photographs and cyanotypes form the spine of the book, which can be read as a loop. It includes one series of photo collages on an accordion, as well as three posters. One of them contains a background text for the locations where the investigations took place.
Includes the essay ‘Lifelines of time drawn in the sand’ by Taru Elfving.
