One is free to travel on top of the iron ore train that crosses the Sahara desert from the mine at Zouérat, in northern Mauritania, Livestockto the harbor of Nouadhibou, on the Atlantic coast of West Africa. The travelers, who are usually traders that transport food and live animals, have to endure a 20-hour trip with periods of strong wind and temperatures that can reach 50 degrees Celsius in the summer. Sweeping across a lawless stretch of the Mauritanian desert on a 700 km track, runs one of the longest cargo trains in the world. From the harbour of Nouadhibou to Zouérat iron mine in the north, its carriages extend for 3 km each loaded with around 80 tons of iron ore. While there haven’t been any terrorist attacks over the past four years, Mauritania is still recognized as an international “red zone,” a place where slavery and human trafficking are not uncommon. The photograph is an archival grade pigment print and shipped with a hand signed and numbered certificate of authenticity by the artist.
