Tassili


Photographs from the Tassili N'Ajjer in the Algerian Sahara


In 2022, I traveled through the Tassili N'Ajjer national park with Tuareg guides and musicians. After a few days roaming Seventy-two thousand square kilometers 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.
