Conceived for the 2026 exhibition Under the Same Sun, this unique print edition places the contemporary documentary vision of Zied Ben Romdhane in direct, trans-historical dialogue with the mid-century classical modernism of Herbert List. By pairing Ben Romdhane’s recent explorations of youth, identity, and political malaise in post-revolution Tunisia with List’s 1930s documentation of the Mediterranean coast, the project collapses nearly a century of history into a unified conceptual framework.

For Ben Romdhane, this collaborative format extends his ongoing investigation into the psychological landscapes of North Africa, contrasting his generation's vulnerability and search for autonomy against the archetypal, statuesque bodies and ancient ruins captured by List. The resulting work transcends conventional photojournalism, operating as a poetic meditation on desire, geography, and the enduring physical presence of the Mediterranean sea.
