Bruno Fert (1971) - MV Aquarius. 2027

Passages Bruno FERT (Born 1971) MV Aquarius. 2027 Fine Art print on Hahnemühle Ultrasmooth paper, title and date inscribed, signed in pencil in the margin 23 x 18 These images tell what exile and migration are. These interiors描描? The original says: Ces intérieurs dessinent l'univers mental de ceux qui sont sur la route : leurs traditions, leurs aspirations, leurs personnalités. They should be translated: These interiors draw the mental universe of those who are on the road: their traditions, their aspirations, their personalities. They are no longer simply migrants, but merchants, young adults barely out of childhood, or mystical artists. Before the photographer’s lens, the “migrants” or “refugees” – generic terms that cause us to lose sight of their identity – are no longer silhouettes trudging through mud among tents, but faces looking back at us... Above all, these photographs speak of the astonishing capacity of humanity, whether nomadic or sedentary, to inhabit the place where one lives, even for a short time, even a shack or a tent in Calais. Bruno Fert — Documentary photographer Bruno Fert develops a deeply humanist body of work devoted to exile, to migrations and the territories traversed. From disappeared Palestinian villages to the precarious refuges of migrants, he photographs less the event than its traces. With Passages, he continues this work on the roads of exile, revealing in the landscapes the marks left by those who try to reach Europe. A precise and silent photography, where the landscape becomes a bearer of memory.
