Between 2006 and 2020, French photographer and artist Bruno
Serralongue conducted a prolonged engagement with the community of
refugees on their last stop in a long journey to reach England. The
resulting photographs, which formed the basis for an exhibition at
Paris’s Centre Pompidou in 2019, are published here for the first
time. Serralongue captured disparate moments in the lives of the
exiles, their attempts to reach England and their provisional camps
which were dismantled by the French government in 2020.
Serralongue’s images employ a suspended temporality that
contradicts the sensationalised images broadcast by the mass media,
recalling the visual traditions of history painting more than
photojournalism. The slowness of his photography, a characteristic
of working with a view camera, requires both a distance from, and a
proximity with, the subjects photographed, achievable only due to a
relationship of trust built with the inhabitants of the
‘Jungle’.
