About this composition
The guerrab in his red tasselled hat, hung with brass cups, is the most photographed man in Marrakech and mostly sells photographs now rather than water. Tip one of his cups and what comes out is the Menara basin — a reservoir Almohad engineers cut in the twelfth century and fed from the mountains through an underground channel. Both of them are in the business of bringing water to a dry city.
Original Berbernest work
Composed from a brief written for this collection, in the manner of mid-century photomontage. The source, substitution and final composition are original to Berbernest; no other artist’s collage is reproduced.
A contemporary Berbernest composition. Save it to revisit while prints are unavailable.
