The MBA students of IESA International present “Who From Afar Seem Like Flies,” a solo exhibition by Camille Millerand, which will run from Thursday, November 30 to Wednesday, December 6 at La Galerie.
“Who From Afar Seem Like Flies” is a phrase from a passage by Jorge Luis Borges, in “The Analytical Language of John Wilkins,” which made Michel Foucault burst out laughing and sparked the beginning of the reflection on heterotopias. Unlike utopia, which, despite its fantastical and fictional aspect, remains the representation of an ordered and coherent space, heterotopia offers the possibility of another place.
It is into this other place that Camille Millerand’s photography plunges us. His photographs, taken from the ongoing series Terminus Algérie, tell the daily life of migrants who have temporarily taken refuge in a two-story building 30 km from Algiers that they call Guantanamo.
