Composition
Infinity River
Commuter workers scrub sterile flex office spaces, haul rolls of insulation material or cycle with your meal across the city. Enchantingly beautiful scenes honor the invisible people who keep our world turning.
L’mina
The coal mine in Jerada, in northeastern Morocco, is officially closed, but miners still enter it clandestinely to work every day. With the help of former miners in a reconstructed mine shaft, Randa Maroufi builds a picture of this shadow industry.
Paper Houses and Horses
Poetic and delicately crafted portrayal of a ritual guiding a deceased child in Taiwan into the afterlife. The parents are absent, so the ceremony is performed by staff members at a funeral home.
