LAPALALA,

a portfolio containing 15 Terragraphics by Ekkeland Götze.

The EARTH for this project comes from LAPALALA, a sanctuary for rhinoceroses in the Waterberg in the North of South Africa. The excavating sites for this project were determined by the Black and White Rhinos of this wilderness themselves. The SOIL samples came from places identified by the different daily activities of particular animals. The titles of the TERRAGRAPHICS contain the date, the time, the site of excavation and the names of the individual Rhinos and their activities. In the beginning of 1998, EG visited at the invitation of Clive Walker LAPALALA. For two days he followed the spoor of the Rhinos either by Landrover or on foot, thus realizing this project.

The Terragraphics were printed in an edition of 9 Arabic and 3 Roman numbered copies in the size 20 x 20 cm. Each sheet is numbered, signed with an embossed signature and has a registered number on the back.

The portfolio covers a fragment of Rhino-Dung-Paper which has been handmade by Dan Saks of Johannesburg using Rhino dung from LAPALALA.

Published in 1998.
