Bruno Fert (1971) - Majdal Yâba

In 1948, the creation of the Hebrew state triggered the first Arab-Israeli war and the exodus of more than 700,000 Palestinians to neighboring countries. What remains today of their towns and villages emptied of their inhabitants? It is to answer this question that I went to Israel: to find and photograph the vestiges of these ghost towns disappeared in the whirl of the 1948 war. This reportage is a journey through time; a visual pilgrimage to the origins of the refugee issue. These images are a testimony to a key moment in the region's history whose consequences are today at the heart of our current affairs. Bruno Fert — Documentary Photographer Bruno Fert develops a deeply humanitarian body of work devoted to exile, to migrations and to the traversed territories. From disappeared Palestinian villages to the precarious shelters 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 strive to reach Europe. A precise and quiet photography, where the landscape becomes a bearer of memory.
