For Standard Deviation I wanted to examine the anthropocentric semantics of scientific positivism and its alleged objectivity, as well as the contradictions of conducting scientific research in Cabo Verde in a time of global capitalism and neocolonialism.
This project started by a happy coincidence that allowed me to photograph extensively in the Cabo Verde Atmospheric Observatory. This is a place that had always fascinated me for its location clenched between the sea, the waves, the wind and a volcano. It also feels a bit secretive.
I later started visiting other scientific research institutions in São Vicente, Cabo Verde, which are conducting research in the field of climate change.
Through collaboration with local and international scientists working in Cabo Verde I was able to witness some of the technical and philosophical entanglements associated with the scientific method.
There is at once this feeling of the natural and physical world being obsessively observed, measured and ordered, in the name of climate surveillance and data modelling, but there are also the most humanising and intimate aspects of science, where failure, improvisation and impossibilities are key to illuminating the path to knowledge production.
Grateful acknowledgement to all researchers involved, in particular: Luís Neves (OACV), Vito Ramos and Elizandro Rodrigues (OSCM), Osvaldina Duarte Silva and Sandra Correia (INDP).
This work was produced in the scope of PARALLEL European Photo Based Platform and presented in the collective exhibitions "Currents Shift" (2019) curated by Jon Uriarte, at the Chateau d’Eau, in Toulouse, France, and "Zeitgeist" (2019) curated by Judit Gellér and Emese Mucsi, at the Robert Capa Contemporary Photography Center, in Budapest, Hungary. Solo exhibition curated by Noora Manty, presented at Galeria da Estação, as part of the Encontros da Imagem Photography Festival 2023, in Braga, Portugal.
