In a Gujarati chart of the Gulf of Aden dated around 1810, the Arabian and Somali coasts—heavily travelled by Gujarati sailors since at least the seventeenth century—are drawn in parallel. The coasts in this map create the impression of a world populated on its bejewelled edges by different peoples and cultures. In Country of the Sea (2015–2022), CAMP presents a contemporary map, first made in 2015, by tracing, painting and exposing chemicals to the sun in a kind of large-format cutout photograph. The work brings the delicate coastlines of west India, east Africa, southern Iran and the Gulf states into an almost riverine dialogue with each other. Inspired by the chart from 1810, the coastlines become the edges of a sea that is its own ‘country’, with frontier towns at its edges. The work establishes the materiality of the water world that is seen out of the windows in Mumbai, Karachi, Jaffna, Basra, Bandar Abbas and Bosasso but where awareness of its other faraway edges has receded.
