About this composition
Seen from the terrace above, the dye pits at Fez are a grid of round stone vats full of saffron, madder and indigo, and the men move between them on the walls. Seen from slightly further away they are a rosette. The tannery has been working since the eleventh century in a city whose other great craft is cutting that same geometry out of tile, and this piece is the argument that those two facts are related.
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.
