Malta - Tunis - Marseille

"My Maltese paternal family has kept many photos from the time when they had to immigrate to Tunisia. For me it is a sign that she wanted to preserve the memory, to pass it on.

This massive immigration on the scale of this small country is forgotten, I give it a central place in the story thanks to archive documents, family photos, contemporary photographs and texts.

More than a century ago, the Maltese fled poverty to reach Tunisia, a land of promises of a better future, today the crossing is in the other direction..."

This photographic book is in 3 languages French, Maltese and Arabic. Its unique design, its cover with double flap, its leaves, its beautiful papers make it an atypical book object.
