We go to places before we know exactly what we are looking for.
Fieldwork is at the centre of our practice. We spend time in the places where we work, returning when we can, walking, photographing, listening and learning from the people who live there. We are interested in what cannot be understood from a distance: the stories attached to a house, a song remembered by one person and taught to another, the rhythm of a village, the things that remain after people leave.
Our work develops slowly and through relationships. We do not arrive with everything decided. Conversations, chance encounters, shared meals, archives, landscapes and everyday acts of care often become part of the work.
Sometimes fieldwork means making photographs. Sometimes it means recording a story, learning a song, cleaning a building, cooking together or sitting around a table.
These experiences become exhibitions, publications, gatherings and other forms of collective work.
