Watch out, the waters are rising! Arko Datto is a photographer, born in India in 1986, whose images question the state of our world. Where Do We Go When the Final Wave Hits is his fourth book. In an oblong vertical format, nocturnal images in irradiated colors are placed at the top of the page, as if mounted on stilts. Across the spreads—and perhaps following the tides—the images move downward and then rise again. The book is bound only along its upper edge, with a rudimentary string sewn through just three points. The bottoms of the pages bear traces of muddy moisture. With remarkable formal intelligence, the book conveys the effects of climate change on the aquatic environment of the Ganges Delta. It announces what lies ahead for us.
