THE ΤΕΛΟΣ SOCIETY EARTH is an ongoing project, where visual essays over time will define TTS’ geography of interest by situating its mission in-place. By thinking-in-place, living-in-place and reflecting-in-place TTS focuses on the wider region of the Mediterranean, the Balkans, Southern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.
As Leanne Betasamosake Simpson has best put it: “The land, aki, is both context and process.” … “Like governance, leadership and every other aspect of reciprocated life, education comes from the roots up. It comes from being enveloped by land.”
– Excerpt from website
I was invited by Vicky Tsirou to submit a visual essay for the 3rd issue of TEΛOΣ SOCIETY, “Earth”. I submitted a series of photographs collectively titled “Don’t tell me what I can’t do”, all shot on 35mm film.
