Blue as Gold, 2017

The book is composed of alternated gold and blue sheets of paper in between which float loose, small-scale photographs of migrant boats crossing the sea. On one side they are depicted in positiv, and on the backside in negative. The blue of the sea thus turns into its opposite: gold. Together, the two hues intimate those of the European flag. On these same premises, the project opens up to a debate on the complex stance of visual languages towards the rendering of the migration issue. This, without creating new visuals, but rather relying on visions that reflect on pre-existing images.
