Scope and content

amp Joffre: Rivesaltes, France A place between the Mediterranean and the mountains, just a few kilometres from Perpignan, near the Spanish border, on the edge of the motorway. Used in 1939 as a transit camp for Spanish refugees of the “Retirada”, a regional holding centre for Jews during WWII, an internment camp for German prisoners of war, a regroupment camp for Harkis and their families after the Algerian War of Independence, and today a detention centre for those without visas, this place has always held captive those considered by society to be “undesirable”. The camp at Rivesaltes bears witness to the dark years of the twentieth century and to the lives of children, women and men, which were shattered and destroyed by tragic events. These videos are journeys through the camp and act as an aide-memoir of the human condition.
