The dunes are home to constantly moving ecosystems. The Westhoek nature reserve (Belgium) is home to the most emblematic dune in Belgium: the scene of a childhood memory, a remembrance of the Spanish landscape in my present. The dune has recently been revived to reactivate the natural cycle and movement interrupted by vegetation growth as a result of climate change. 

‘Dune’ is a collaboration with its landscape, while collecting and experimenting with the vegetation that was suffocating it and the analogue photographic medium. In this process, I explore the representation of human intervention in the landscape and the cycles of life linked to the suffocating action of vegetation. I overlay the species collected during the digitisation of the film, resulting in a visual representation where the object intervenes on the image just as the flora intervenes on the landscape. The act of scanning and image intervention blends with the human intervention on the landscape through climate change.
