✨️Sneak Peek✨️ [01/15] Welcome to the south of Europe, an overwhelmingly beautiful region with a climate that is enviable. A place where affluent Northern Europeans buy homes to escape the cold, wet winters. Where the Rio Segura winds through the dry landscape as a lifeline. An ideal country, one might think. But this now applies only to areas along the river, where blooming citrus orchards form the backdrop. Climate change is leaving its mark. Rising temperatures and unpredictable rainfall have led to water shortages, affecting not only agriculture but also local communities. To be continued tomorrow. . .
Together with Arnold van Bruggen, I’m working in Spain to create a new chapter for our project The Europeans 2020–2030. Each chapter is created in two work periods of up to two weeks. Our first work period in Southeast Spain was last October. This Instagram series of 15 photos is accompanied by a continuous text story. Don’t hesitate to share your feedback to help us guide the focus for our second work period in April 2025!
Special thanks to AADK Spain, European Cultural Foundation, Mondriaan Fonds, Fonds Anna Cornelis and to all patrons who support the project.
