Prespa is a region shared between two lakes, the « small » and the « big» one, and three countries, Greece, Albania and Macedonia. An ottoman sultan loved these lakes so much that he gave his daughter their name. At that time, Prespa was unified. At the surface, Prespa is just another touristic zone that makes you forget that it is fragmented between nations and borders.
I am interested in getting below the surface and showing the signs and traces that suggest the borderness of this place and its inhabitants. My images focus on the small details that perturb the apparent tranquility of this dislocated territory.
