In September 2022, the Mar Menor lagoon located in Spain’s Costa Blanca was granted legal personhood after several years of campaigning by local activists in the region. To some, this designation seems outlandish or farcical. To others, this brings to light an older knowledge that sees the similarities between a human-person and an ecology-person. Humans are assemblages that contain many different processes and elements -- loose committees as Lynn Margulis says (cite). These include metabolisms, bacteria, minerals, fluids, disease, and scars. They also include stories, memories, words, and gestures. Similarly, a natural place—an ecology—contains smaller beings and elements that constitute the body of that place which include traces, histories, and appearances that communicate to us and others. Rather than be tempted to represent the entire body of what may be considered Mar Menor, this project attempts to spend more time looking at its traces, surfaces, flows, residues, and objects scattered throughout. During the hottest and brightest time of the day few are out in this environment but what is revealed are the still traces of movement of water, insects, animals, plants. While human bodies are mainly absent from the images, the traces of human activity are visibly present in most sites chosen. These traces are also evidence of the bonds between human and non-human beings—often reduced to utility or extraction but other times produced through care and sustainment. The body of a person is greater than the sum of its parts. By traveling through its streams and along its borders that we see the complex relationships from which emerges the identity of the Mar Menor.
