About the series

Saif Fradj presents work shot between 2024 and 2025 in Gabes responding to the Oued de Gabes; an oasis being destroyed by industrial development. The photographs document the landscape under extraction, recording what the state determines for marginalized regions: land and water treated as resources to remove rather than preserve. The work renders ecological destruction through direct observation, capturing thematerial evidence of industrial erasure.

Fradj’s approach investigates the threshold between living landscape and industrial ruin. His practice combines mobile, analog, and digital photography with video and film. His work examines questions offragility, strangeness, frontiers, and identity within contexts of neo-colonialism. He has remained based inTunisia, developing an aesthetic reflecting the South and Arab identity.
