Story

"Traces" is a journey in the deep south Algerian Sahara, a story of absence and spaces refractory to signs of human presence. Traces provisional, fragile or incidental, traces of the force of nature and the passage of time. Roads, tracks, carcasses of cars and animals make sense against the backdrop of the desert waiting for a census before being swallowed by sand. The Sahara and 'the first of the two seas to cross. Without borders, we consume the tragedies of hope for those who can not even get on the Mediterranean coast. These pictures are the reflection of a tourist who has crossed the Sahara for pleasure and has met with tangible signs of the passage of those who have crossed to despair.
