Landscape Shortlist

Over the last few years, Dudu Roth has travelled to the Dead Sea every few months to document changes created in the landscape by humans and industry. His project reveals that the water level is decreasing by approximately 1.5 metres per year, which is causing the Dead Sea to slowly die. This series focuses on beaches that have been abandoned due to sinkholes, which are often left deserted, dirty and dangerous. Roth’s hope is that his project will tell a small part of the story of the Dead Sea and reveal the impact of human actions on it.

My name is Dudu Roth. I was born in 1980 and grew up in a small town in Israel. I have been involved in photography since I was 14. I try every day to think, learn, engage and develop in photography.
