Diamond Sea
by Doug Aitken (2000)

Diamond Sea by Doug Aitken is a photographic journey through Diamond Areas 1 and 2: a highly secure 70,000 square kilometre area along the coastline of the Namibian desert. Aitken's photographs reveal how the man-made corporate owned landscape and the vast topographic expanse of the Namibian desert are equally subject to narrative construction.
