The film lyrically portrays the differing attitudes towards the “cultural landscape” of the Libyan Sahara held by a group of European visitors to the region as well as the Tuareg “locals” who guide them. Experimentally filmed and edited, it explores the extent to which we can seek to record the natural environment as a scientific domain, and what this means for the people who live there. The film was made within the context of an Oxford University archaeology trip researching the rock art of the area.
