TWILIGHT
Hamish Logan's "Twilight" project delves into the haunted landscapes of Andalusia's coastal areas, exploring the intertwined issues of extractivism, agriculture, and migration through the lens of myth. Utilizing the mythology of Calypso, a sea nymph punished for her crimes—whose name derives from the Ancient Greek "kalyptō," meaning "to cover," "to conceal," or "to hide"—Logan reveals the ghostly presences that pervade these regions. The work contrasts the historical influx of African migrants, Andalusia's first population, with the modern exploitation of labor in Europe's most arid areas, where intensive agriculture demands excessive water amidst severe scarcity. By invoking Calypso, Logan uncovers the hidden and concealed histories and ongoing struggles of these marginalized communities, aiming to raise awareness about the socio-environmental consequences of neo-colonial, necropolitical and unsustainable resource management.
