WHAT’S LEFT BEHIND
The project What’s Left Behind was born after a six-month-long photographic diary depicting Arctic life during a journey towards the abandonment of the civilised world. The intention was to create an unorthodox guide for a “migrant body”, and the desire to narrate the traveller’s identity through the experience of nature. As the photographic material was collected, it emerged that the same route this explorer used to escape from civilisation actually has a dual nature and an inverse flow as the channel of access to the Western world for those descending into Europe from Syria by crossing the exposed gap in the Arctic Circle.
