Sacred River, 2017

“Borrowed time and borrowed world and borrowed eyes with which to sorrow it.”
Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Sacred River brings together black-and-white digital photographs and analogue images made with film soaked in the river itself.

Burnt bodies, butchered blood, development dust and industrial effluents enter water regarded as sacred, forming a river that cuts through the city, carrying belief and breakdown in the same flow.
