More informations
Restrica is a scientific and artistic project of Pierre-Jérôme Adjedj (photographer, Berlin) and Pascale Laborier, (professor of Political Science, Paris-Nanterre University).
Visions of current and past forced scientific exiles
It all started from a simple question, which has no simple or unique answer: how to represent with portrait Exile. We believed it had to be considered as a dialogue and co-construction leading to a shared process.
It came out as a building representation of the portraits of exiled scholars with objects, pictures, places that are essentials to the personal story. This associates the home country and the refuge place, and objects linked to personal history or the academic project. All of these are set up together as layers for shooting. The camera matches to create by transparency a palimpsest where each level answers or dialogues to the other, exceeding what the photographer and his/her model had anticipated. The process is repeated until obtaining “the best imperfect picture”, as an eternally temporary image.
