Circadian Landscape, published by Damiani (2018)

I shot this book between 2011 and 2014 during three trips to seven African countries: Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Senegal, and Togo. I had traveled in Africa four times previously, and after each trip it became clearer that this journey would have to continue. I traveled mostly by car, capturing life lived in big cities, in rural villages, and along the remote roadways between them. I followed the light, working from sunrise to sundown, observing the rhythms of the days: the rich wooden sound of the Sudanese balafon interrupted by motorcycle horns, the red soil nourishing a low-hanging calabash tree, buses piled with soccer fans precariously circling a roundabout, vibrant African wax textiles drying on a line, liquor bottles filled with petrol for sale along the road.
