Prespa

Prespes is a region shared between two lakes, the "small" and the "large" one, and three countries: Greece, Albania, and North Macedonia. An Ottoman sultan loved these lakes so much that he gave his daughter their name. At that time, the lake was unified. I was fascinated by the idea that water, which is by nature indivisible, was separated by borders and nations.

So I decided to travel around the lake for a month, using photography to try and capture this invisible line. I walked for hours in search of signs and traces that could be visual proof of the border. In reality though I found no physical line separating the countries, but just small hidden details that could suggest this imaginary line. I photographed the landscapes and the people with one obsessive idea in mind: how to represent the invisible.
