"Alzheimer's"
Alzheimer's disease goes through seven stages before reducing the patient to a fetal position and then to death. Among these stages the identity of the individual is gradually erased due to loss of memory. The vision of reality is distorted because nothing they do is in accordance with the environment in which they think they live. The mimesis of reality serves in some way to assuage their sense of loss of space and time and, somehow, return parts of life lost.

"A scarce but vital resource"
A Tuareg bringin water for his animals. The Tuareg are a nomadic pastoralist people that have managed to survive in the hostile desert environment of the Sahara for millennia. Over recent years however, the effects of climate change are threatening their ability to subsist. Changes in rain patterns, such as the rains coming later in the season and all rain falling at a single occasion instead of spread out over time causes great distress in this society. The changes of water availability leads to a decrease in growth and availability of plant species needed by the Tuareg's grazing animals. Many have lost their camels and herds of cows and sheep as well as seen their traditional lands destroyed. The lack of water forces the Tuareg to compete with southern farming communities for the scarce resources and this has led to tensions between the communities. The region has been called ground zero for vulnerable communities struggling to adapt to climate change and projections derived from global climate models suggest that drought conditions in the Sahel may worsen in the coming decades. While the industrial countries are negotiating climate change these marginalised people are living it's affects.

Tehran, Iran June 2009 - Women shout against the regime from a rooftop in Tehran. On june 12, 2009 the Iranian presidential elections were held, and the results were strongly contested by the population. Every night at 10, when streets are empty, cries of “death to the dictator” and “Allah u Akbar” (Allah is Great) echoed through Teheran: it’s the call of the dissidents against Ahmadinejad and the regime coming from the rooftops of their own home. A deeply simbolic act that recalled the shouts of “Allah u Akbar” to show opposition to the Monarchy at the time of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Photo Pietro Masturzo/Kairos Factory
