Featuring different works by the LIMINAL, Forensic Oceanography and Border Forensics collectives, the multimedia installation From Sea to Sky approaches intersectional immobility and frontier-based violence at sea. The objective is to highlight the way in which the Mediterranean maritime space has been transformed into a militarized border zone.
From Sea to Sky is a multimedia installation specially created for the Festival d'Automne and CENTQUATRE-PARIS. The evidence gathered sheds light upon the role played by Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, and in particular the outsourcing of its aerial surveillance services to private contractors. Aerial surveillance has become a strategic element of the efforts made by European Union states to drive away asylum-seekers attempting to reach Europe by boat, in the course of which the latter become victims of systematic violence, on a considerable and widespread scale. Centred on two wide-reaching video works, this exhibition also includes a sound-based piece, as well as multimedia and cartographic works. Together, they enable us to dissect the real-life experiences of those who cross by boat the deadliest migratory route in the world.
