"For this project, Martin Becka has captured the city of Dubai using techniques that date back to the very beginnings of photography. By staging a collision between the historical and the present time, Becka creates a deliberate anachronism and therewith takes us far from the usual expectations we harbour towards Dubai. In Becka's earthly warm and exquisitely detailed salted paper prints a monument has been erected for the future generations of Dubai."
