Caroline Sohie | Bagamoyo Wishes (2024)

Colonial-era archival imagery is reappropriated and woven into the visual language of the photograph. By juxtaposing this with contemporary scenes captured in the same locations as the historic images, I challenge inherited narratives and reveal the persistent continuity of extractive gazes across time. Through the visual layering of past and present—echoing the stratifications of photographic emulsion—the work exposes what quietly lingers beneath the surface of time.
