Bruno Fert (1971) - Tantura

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 locate and photograph the remnants of these ghost settlements erased in the swirl of the 1948 war. This reportage is a journey through time; a visual odyssey to the origins of the refugee question. These images bear witness to a key moment in the region’s history whose consequences are today at the heart of our current events. Bruno Fert — Documentary Photographer Bruno Fert develops a deeply humanist body of work devoted to exile, migrations and the traversed landscapes. From vanished Palestinian villages to the precarious refuges of migrants, he photographs less the event than its traces. With Passages, he continues this work along the roads of exile, revealing in the landscapes the marks left by those who seek to reach Europe. A precise and quiet photography, where the landscape becomes a bearer of memory.
