About the Work

Kaspale find themselves inside of photographs produced by zoologists, Julius Vossler and Dr. Franz Ludwig Stuhlmann in the early late 1800 and early 1900 during their time in Tanzania, which are now part of the MARKK museum archive. Kaspale disturbs these images, disrupting the urge for the audience to be nostalgic over this period.
