When the journalists and relief workers leave, what remains of a humanitarian crisis?
What traces are left by the uprooting of millions of people? What do we retain of the hopes and expectations of anonymous crowds? In Ressacs, we accompany photographer Frédéric Séguin on a pilgrimage as he returns to the key sites of the Syrian refugee crisis and tries to find the people he photographed between 2015 and 2017. In fields that were once muddy and full of tents, nature reclaims its rights.
On the shores of the Greek islands, the waves have already forgotten yesterday’s tragedies. And yet, the scars are still alive in those who were uprooted.
