A new solo exhibition by David Dunne terroir / the knots of becoming consist of a series of colour archival prints developed from an ongoing project in the south of Morocco. Dunne has documented the social, ecological and architectural structures of the Berber / Amazigh Háhá tribe in the region of Ait Tamer on the Atlantic coast.
His focus is on the large number of temporary dwellings constructed in the sand dunes from fishing nets, flotsam jetsam, wood, bamboo, willow rods and plastic. These structures surrounded by mounds of empty mussel shells stacked to keep out the advancing sand.
