Recalling landscapes in Afghanistan from a distance means relying on memory that is inseparably bound to loss.  Turning to the archive offers no relief, for the archive itself revolves around the very principle of loss. Images and stories fall through, absent from its records. Even where archives exist, many histories remain out of reach or preserved under closed access.

How is nature depicted in places distinctly shaped by decades of war? “No Man’s Land” approaches this question by reclaiming a memory threatened by foreign rule, displacement and alienation. The material comes solely from British and Russian archives, marked by their respective watermarks. Their visibility suggests further reflection on ownership, territorial sovereignty and the persistence of colonial gaze.
