No Land’s Men is a touring exhibition initiated by No Borders UK, featuring 20 documentary photographs by Julie Rebouillat. The photographs describe the life of ‘illegal’ migrants living in Calais and their attempts to cross the Channel to England. Rebouillat explores their precarious homes and lifestyles and how they attempt to reclaim their lives.
To coincide with the opening of the exhibition at Oriel Canfas, No Borders hosts a talk and film screening in Le Salon.
The documentary films explore issues of migration and the impact of border controls on migrants.
The exhibition will travel to Calais, an outpost of the UK border system, to coincide with the No Borders Camp that opens on Tue 23 June.
Julie Rebouillat was born in 1982. In 2007 she began work on social and political subjects and joined the photography collective Contre-faits (www.contre-faits.org).
