Terra Cognita
Lola Reboud
The Ephemeris
While the Arab Spring dominated the media and conversations on the street, in the Moroccan city of Tangier Lola Reboud was photographing young people who gathered in parks, gardens and on the outskirts of the city during Ramadan. From these various places she created one utopian Garden of Eden. All the encounters she recorded were as transitory as the season in which they took place, and given the political situation, paradoxical in their gentleness. Reboud derived the title of the series from the tables that give the positions of astronomical objects in the sky. These tables sugest constant movements, just like the lives of these young people change constantly.
