Patrick Zachmann - Mare Mater
Patrick Zachmann - a Magnum photographer - directed a movie (along with making a book) in which he compared his own family history with that of migrants today.
This is about a journey, a journey through memories and exiles. A journey that spins and weaves all the destinies I stumble upon. The fate of the emigrants leaving their country south of Mediterranean Sea in order to evade joblessness, boredom, the lack of a future, and the fate of the mothers who let them go away or realize or realize that they're gone. Today, I'm starting the travel in reverse. I leave in search of my long-forgotten origins, of the missing images in my family photo album.
The film will be projected on November 29, 2014 at the MuCEM, Fort Saint-Jean, Marseilles, France. The exhibition will run from Nov 30, 2013 till Jan 27, 2014.
