In this physical archive of his long-term project, Bullinger portrays a diverse array of African pastoralists’ homes, including tents, open dwellings and huts. Despite their variety, the structures are all made from materials available directly on site; they are radically efficient and sustainable.\u003cbr\u003eImplementing a silver-gelatin technique, Bullinger shoots with a large-format camera and honors the capricious natural light of day. Although he captures few inhabitants in his images, Bullinger records their many traces. Indeed, his photographs are born from a dialogue with the inhabitants and reveal architecture as a direct response, refined over centuries, to a people’s specific environment and culture. Bullinger’s conscientious formal and interpersonal decisions culminate in this valuable record of rapidly disappearing African architectural heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57193558671742,"sku":"NW9783969992463","price":40.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9783969992463.jpg?v=1778545792","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/pastoralist-homes","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
