Fine Print: Palmeries of Kerzaz near the Great Western Erg. Sahara, Algeria, 1957
After photographing the horrors of Bergen-Belsen, Rodger sought refuge in Africaās people and landscape, becoming Magnumās correspondent to the continent in 1947. The pictures of his trip through the Algerian desert in 1957 are as much about his personal experience, travelling with his wife Jinx Rodger, as they are of his surroundings. His encounters with the local Tuareg, recounted in his caption sheets which are included in the exhibition, are welcoming ā the travellers were frequently invited into their homes, where Rodger appears to have been able to photograph freely. Even in his later work from Tunis and its environs, about which we have less written information, the camera is unchallenged. Pictured here, Palmeries of Kerzaz near the Great Western Erg, Sahara, Algeria.
