As if the sand were made of stone is an ongoing documentary photography project that we (that is Eugenia and I) are working on. The project covers how small villages & hamlets across rural Argentina – in particular the Argentinean Pampa – are changing and adapting in response to transport shifting from rail to road. The idea for the project goes back to April 2023, and we have been working on-and-off on it since September 2023.
The project brings together traditional analog media (i.e. black-and-white film photography and wet printing) and the digital (i.e. through the project website & data visualisations). Beyond being distributed in zine form, the images made as part of this work are also openly licensed and available on Flickr.
