Bruno FERT (Born in 1971) Haifa - N 32°48’46’’ E 35°00’8’’ 04.1948 The Absentees, 2016 Fine Art print on Hahnemühle Ultrasmooth paper, title and date typewritten in the margin 32 x 32 cm (40 x 50 cm) 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 vestiges of these ghostly localities disappeared 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 are a testimony to a pivotal moment in the history of the region 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, to migrations and the landscapes crossed. From vanished 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 attempt to reach Europe. A precise and quiet photography, where the landscape becomes a bearer of memory.
