              The need to find a part of myself and renew cultural ties. This is what led me to Morocco, to a small Berber village, to become part of a family and enter into the private women's circle.

              “The hands of the magician are faster than the eyes of the spectator.” - Abdelouahid El Hamri, aka Sinbad of the Straits. In the case of Sinbad, however, the surprises of prestidigitation are sometimes less magical than quite worldly. This private display of Sinbad's illusions, in front of a black curtain in the courtyard of Mr. El Hamri's house in Tangier, includes the appearance of a number of ping-pong balls and white doves, swallowing of razor blades, and an attempt to reproduce his most difficult trick: “How to Make a Chicken Go to Sleep”.

              The port of Tangiers is a transit zone, and many travelers and goods pass through each day in huge trucks bound for destinations all over Europe. This is why large numbers of children and adults live in the port, waiting for an opportunity to hide under one of the trucks and cross the border into the Schengen zone. Almost all of them have a home and a family. Locals spend some time there and then return to their homes to build up strength for the next attempt. Those whose homes are far away settle among the containers or find a more or less inconspicuous hideaway in the port. Abdelghani is one of the minors who has decided to leave his family in southern Morocco to try and cross over to Spain.

              "In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors..." [William Blake] An old pilgrim dressed in rags observes a flower in the dark of the night ... The old man is a door between the things that are known and unknown ... symbolizes the decline and the end of what we have taken for real, and now it is perceived as ephemeral and inconsistent, as the poverty of his clothes dragged by time. The proximity of death as an unavoidable truth gives his own vision; a new and deeper insight not limited to visual perception, and beyond logic and laws of the world. Maybe that's why in the dark of night can contemplate the beauty of a flower.
