Programme
Amexica, Marie Baronnet
A barrier stands at the border between the United States and Mexico, a sinister defensive wall known to all. It alone embodies all walls, all refusals of the other. In Amexica, photography is a battleground, a fight between communities, cultures, countries, and, above all, a merciless struggle taking place between individuals and between genders. In a photographic series dedicated to the representation of the apocalyptic reality at the Mexico–US border, Marie Baronnet doesn’t leave anything hidden. Through her use of strong, often contrasting colour, combined with a dusky tonality, she draws out the nature of a conflict that rips apart communities in which the differences between contradictory aspirations are irreconcilable.
