Visual artist and film-maker Rä di Martino originally came across these sorry remnants of some of the film’s iconic scenes via google earth. So not in a galaxy far, far away — but still somewhere pretty remote: in the depths of Tunisia’s desert, around the Chott el Djerid salt lake.
They might not be a patch on the pyramids but these sci-fi set ruins definitely form a curious desert feature and Martino’s photographs poetically capture how the light-years have not been kind: time has caught up with these fragments of the future, gradually crumbling away to dust.
