This is happening across the Mediterranean Sea, but it could also happen here. We are in Tangier, place of all departures, a border town between the South and the North of the world. It is a border crossing both those who want to cross the strait to reach Europe and those who return to the country to find their loved ones. Both of them no longer feel at home, neither here in their country of origin nor in the towns, villages or suburbs which took them in on the other side of the sea. Here as there the same feeling of alienation, of exclusion, a deep and inextinguishable wound: the loss of a country.

About the Artist
Born in Rome in 1972, Marco Barbon lives in France since 2001.
After a PHD in Aesthetics of Photography at the EHESS in Paris, he took his first steps in the world of photography by working for five years in the staff of Magnum Photos. Since 2005 he has devoted himself to a personal photographic research which invests the photographic image as a border zone between reality and imagination, document and fiction. The nature of photography as a trace as well as its ability to evoke the off-camera and to represent the absence constitute in particular the common thread of his latest works.
