created as a performative installation, combining sound, video and text readings. ‘fin ghade’, simply translated asks, where are you going? and in doing so calls our attention to the delicate nature of existence. the inner and outer physical and existential quest, in a landscape of eternal desert.
“in a way nobody sees a flower really, it is so small we haven’t time and to see takes time like to have a friend takes time.”

fin ghade; where are you going?
installation and projection presented at the weight of mountains residency, western Sahara, 2015
comprising floor sculpture and projection with live performance.
utilising remnants of delicately dried sand formations, created by intense sun following desert rain. the sculptural fragments lay on compacted dirt flooring, loosely covered by agricultural grade salt becoming a silver screen on which to receive the landscape and its inhabitants.
FIN GHADE; installation projection.mov, excerpt 1min, sound.
we shall not cease from exploration
and the end of all our exploring
will be to arrive where we started
and know the place for the first time.
through the unknown, remembered gate
when the last of earth left to discover
is that which was the beginning;
at the source of the longest river
t.s. Elliot, from “little gidding,” four quartets, 1943
