A photographic inquiry into circularity

The Circle

A decade photographing across Europe — an artist’s inquiry into circularity: the laboratories, mines and seabeds where a different relationship with nature is being imagined.

On circularity

The circle is the simplest form in nature — the sun, the moon, a drop of rain. It is also the shape of a question this work has followed for a decade. The Circle is not an argument for the circular economy, but an attempt to look at it closely — to find, in these places, the images that let us hold the question, contradictions and all.
