Idols

Idols is a series photographed in Qatar that is part of a broader interest in peoples idea of utopia. With infinite wealth and means what would we make for ourselves. Here glass towers have shot up out of the desert, gigantic air conditioned stadia are being built to host the soccer world cup in a place that is usually above 40 degrees centigrade. Vast malls complete with the blue sky painted on the roof appear as modern cathedrals at odds on an ancient spiritual background. An exhibition and small catalogue were produced in 2015.
