Spent some time in May on the Marquesa island of Ua Huka, to photograph Vohi Brown and his clique.

Prima degli incendi che stanno imperversando, avevamo deciso di dedicare il numero di agosto a Palermo. Da giorni la città brucia. Oggi più che mai vogliamo dare sostegno al territorio e lo facciamo insieme a Fondazione Sicilia, che, d’intesa con il Comune di Palermo, si occuperà di piantare nuovi alberi e ripristinare beni artistici e culturali danneggiati. Con le nostre immagini, invece, diamo voce ai palermitani. Sono personaggi in cerca d’autore: come in una pièce di Pirandello, interpretano la propria parte con teatrale intensità.

I worked on a multi-dimensional project in Bamako, in collaboration with musicologist  Christopher Kirkley, titled *Uchronia: The Unequivocal Interpretation of Reality.* It juggles between folklorism, science fiction and social documentary, and was presented at *Galerie 12 Mail* in Paris in Sept. 2015. It was accompanied by *Uchronia, Field Recordings From Alternate Realities*, a vinyl edition to be released on the American label *Sahel Sounds*, and a publication edited by Pierre Hourquet. - © Maciek Pożoga

Back in January 2020, I spent two weeks in Japan following researchers and students engaged in the study of what some would call the "cultural behaviours" of Japanese macaques in three distinct regions of Japan. Their research focuses on the notion that those monkeys could transmit ritual-likes habits from one generation to another, from bathing in hot springs in the touristic park of Jigokudani, to washing sweet potatoes on the isolated island of Ko-Jima, to riding deers on the island of Yakushima. *{Article written by Ben Crair.
