WRETCHED GROUND
The project is a reflection on the threats of ecological disruption that modern human activities have unleashed. It reflects adaptability and survival, and is made in response to the situation around the city of Saint Louis in Senegal, endangered both by a rising sea level and floodings from the river.
The project was initiated on a residency at Waaw in Saint Louis 2022. It contains a hand made artist book, photo collages, medium format photographs, as well as the video installation In the Intimacy of Strangers.
