This exhibition catalog features the photographic series 'Khamekaye' by Madrid-based photographer Paula Anta. The series explores striking sculptural forms created from natural and discarded materials found along the Grande-Côte coastline in Senegal, with texts in Spanish and English.
The 'Khamekaye' exhibition catalog presents a photographic series by Paula Anta, focusing on the Grande-Côte, a 150-kilometer stretch of the Senegalese coast north of Dakar. The title, 'Khamekaye,' is a Wolof term for landmarks placed inland from the coast to indicate the location of villages. These landmarks, composed of driftwood, plastics, fishing nets, and other debris, are erected in the harsh environment of wind, water, and salt. While appearing chaotic at first glance, these structures gradually reveal more defined forms—animals, fantastical creatures, and human-like figures—as viewers engage with them. The catalog includes texts in both Spanish and English, offering insight into Anta's artistic exploration of these ephemeral coastal sculptures.
