In this physical archive of his long-term project, Bullinger portrays a diverse array of African pastoralists' homes, including tents, open dwellings and huts. Despite their variety, the structures are all made from materials available directly on site; they are radically efficient and sustainable.\u003cbr\u003eImplementing a silver-gelatin technique, Bullinger shoots with a large-format camera and honors the capricious natural light of day. Although he captures few inhabitants in his images, Bullinger records their many traces. Indeed, his photographs are born from a dialogue with the inhabitants and reveal architecture as a direct response, refined over centuries, to a people's specific environment and culture. Bullinger's conscientious formal and interpersonal decisions culminate in this valuable record of rapidly disappearing African architectural heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51552813973778,"sku":"9783969992463","price":46.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_afa981da-8813-4094-a6d9-1ab6e50822ae.jpg?v=1754905543","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/winfried-bullinger-pastoralist-homes-9783969992463","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
