Marinka Grondel - Nour

The fates of human and nature are infinitely intertwined. It’s the core of our very existence. Yet, we’ve lost touch with this innate sense of belonging. This was the premise I carried with me when I set out on a cross-country quest with my camper van a little over two years ago.

‘Nour’ is the culmination of 10 months of travelling through Portugal, Spain, Greece and Turkey, making new work before the eyes of Mother Earth’s own creations. The book is a visual catalog of my journey to understanding the inexplicable bond between our being and its source. Through exploration, constructions and research on how to manipulate and create sunlight, I try to play with the notion that a celestial body like the Sun, out of reach as it may seem, can simultaneously be something a little closer to the heart, and perhaps… even a little more h u m a n.
