The two series of photographs presented in this book, with commentary by historian Denis Peschanski, have been produced by the artist FLORE about Camp de Rivesaltes.
Far from mere photo-reportage, this focused work attempts to leave an unforgettable trace of the events that occurred in this camp, an often forgotten part of history. Spaniards, Jews, Gypsies, Harkis – the artist has embraced all the pain and suffering experienced in this camp and in other such camps only traces of which remain, except in people's memories.
