Photographs from the Tassili N'Ajjer in the Algerian Sahara
In 2022, I travelled through the Tassili N'Ajjer national park with Tuareg guides. After days of roaming seventy-two thousand square kilometres of sand and stone, its grandeur penetrates your consciousness.
Around every corner lies a startling new arrangement of sand, sky, vegetation and rock, which I never tired of.
In the Sahara you are receiving a dose of what Jorge Luis Borges called ‘the wonder distilled from elementary things’.
January 2022.
Soundtrack: Dounia, a song by Tissilawen. Musicians from this band formed part of the crew on this tour.
