Today I visited the camp with my friend Deev, a sculptor. I’ve been invited to put on an exhibition in our local town on the theme of Rivesaltes. Instead of a solo show, or something purely information-giving, I’ve decided to show all the collaborations I have made on the theme.
All the work is wall-based, apart from the sound-art – so I thought I’d ask Deev to make a sculpture from found objects at the camp.
It went well and he took away a fallen wall section made from reinforced concrete – in three parts joined with iron bars. I’m looking forward to seeing what he does with it.
The light today was extraordinary, brilliant sun and dark sky, the atmosphere was very still. Sitting quietly, reflecting on the heavy weight of the past, I took a few more photos of the huts.
