Against No Return

Akosua Viktoria Adu-Sanyah

Sculpture, Process, Photography

A temporary analog color darkroom will be established in the Arboretum. Throughout the exhibition, the artist will repeatedly create large-format photographic works by hand.

The works are based on a single photograph taken at the “Door of No Return” at Elmina Castle in Ghana – a former slave trading fortress. Reduced to horizon, sea and sky, the image becomes the starting point for a repeated photographic process involving contact printing, manual development, washing and drying.

Each print is created under constantly shifting material conditions, and its final form remains unpredictable. Over the course of the exhibition, a continuous sequence of works will gradually emerge around the structure.

Location
