A State is a photographic composition of materials sourced from a very peculiar drilling core, sourced from an enormous garbage dump in Tripoli. Bordering the sea, this landfill is the site where waste from the city of Tripoli has been dumped over a period of twenty-five years. One generation’s garbage, never recycled, and exposed to the elements for decades. This sedimentation of waste has radically changed the local landscape. Today it forms hills as high as forty-five meters above sea level. These compositions, made up of the superimposition of hundreds of images of the cores drilled from this landfill, create a hyper-realistic effect: extremely pictorial still-lives are abstracted as the waste material disintegrates. Shredded organic materials lose their form and slowly disappear. All that remains are the techno-fossils left behind, fated to survive us as they decompose over hundreds of years.
