EN ROUTE examines questions related to urban and rural transformation within an interdisciplinary, global context. Changes within local communities as a consequence of increased global mobility, is a main point of interest.
Over a year I documented the impact of newly developed infrastructure, along "The Trans West-African Transport Corridor", a transport network which crosses West-Africa and connects urban and rural areas with the rest of the world. In my project I see the road as something greater than just a means of conveyance, but rather in its function as a social space for learning and sharing information, communication and interaction across the continents.
The project is also published as an artist book CORRIDOORS (Spriten Publishing Company/kunsthall 2014).
