Maëlle Grand Bossi (*1985) obtained her master degree in Film Direction from l'Institut Des Arts de Diffusion (IAD) in 2010. She is interested in issues such as the quest of freedom in Humans and their resistance to instability and to violence of all kinds. In Brussels, she invested especially squatters and illegal immigrants universes. The War in Syria and its consequences are currently at the heart of her preoccupations.

 

Between september 2014 and september 2015, she photographies syrian refugees in an indeterminate period of their exile. She meets them : in Midyat, momentarily taking refuge in a church; in Siteler, a zoning of Ankara suburban, living in neighborhoods to be demolished; in the Arin Mikram Kurdish refugees camp, in Suruç, pending a return to Kobanî; then in Kobanî, where they return leads to their destroyed homes; and finally in Oncupinar refugee camp, in Kilis, where they live a precarious life in immobility and under the close supervision of the Turkish authorities.

 

Maëlle's photographs are accompanied by recorded sounds excerpts of previous radio works:
