Cinzas e nuvens
Extended Presences
Who watches the firewatchers? Margaux Dauby does, closely, in Cinzas e nuvens: a careful survey of careful surveillance. In their seasonal work, these women stoically construct and maintain an ordered view of a small world always ready to burst into flame. The camera caresses their eyes, trained on a landscape laid out flat – and the deceptive calm of a crisis always on the horizon.
