Melilla, 2022
On the opposite shore of the Mediterranean, in the Spanish enclave of Melilla, Mathieu Pernot photographs the forest along the fence that protects the enclave from the arrival of potential migrants. The eucalyptus tree, imported from Australia in the 19th century, and the pine tree, whose many varieties were introduced by Napoleon, they have become silent witnesses to the restrictions imposed on human movement and migration in this space. Behind the trees, in the background of the image, a massive metal fence topped with barbed wire divides the territory in two and marks the border between nation-states.
