Maffei (de) – Delta

Camilla de Maffei presents a subjective reportage made in the region between Romania and Ukraine, where the Danube ends its journey before flowing into the Black Sea; Europe’s largest river delta and also its last frontier. She spent almost four years exploring this remote and historically isolated place, hoping to discover the relationship between the landscape and the identity of the people who inhabit it. ‘Delta’ mixes images of this wild and labyrinthine territory with portraits of the people she met during her travels. As part of her research, De Maffei worked with concepts of psychogeography and drifting, as well as the idea of the field diary, adapting its format to her needs.
