Fortress Europe


exhibition work in progress
An ongoing project which started in 2010 which wants to provide a reflection on the signs left on the landscape which show the passage or permanence of migrants. Over the years I have followed their movements along the Balkan and the Mediterranean shores, as main entry points to Europe. I have documented the work of those trying to identify the unfortunate migrants who don’t make it across rivers and seas to enter the continent, and the informal migrant labour camps which abound in Southern Europe.

An ongoing project which started in 2010 which wants to provide a reflection on the signs left on the landscape which show the passage or permanence of migrants. My thesis is that the topography and geometry of these elements is such that isolates migrants from the first moment they set foot in Europe, and this carries on even when living more stably in a country, stuck in a loop of segregation from which it is difficult to escape.
