Description

The present work stems from a broader series of photographic documentation that I created during a residency in the city of London between January and March 2023. No man’s land represents a geographic area free from human occupation. The term was originally used to define a contested territory or a waste dump between fiefs. In modern times, it is commonly associated with World War I to describe the land between two enemy trench systems, not controlled by either side. The term is also used metaphorically to refer to an ambiguous, anomalous, or undefined area in relation to a political or jurisdictional situation. These two phrases were chosen to contradict each other, highlighting the illogical nature of considering a territory null if not belonging to any jurisdiction or human being, and on the other hand, the profound human need to recognize oneself in one's own places, defining one's identity based on them. Never as today this work revealed itself to be very important to me.
