Melita, מלט−mlṭ, Refuge
france
Anne Immelé’s project Melita, Melita, מלט-mlṭ, Refuge begins in Malta, where the artist explores caves linked to Phoenician civilization, in the current context of migratory crisis.
Seeking refuge has always been an act of survival. In Malta, this idea is rooted in history, notably in the biblical story of the shipwreck of Saint Paul.
Immelé continues her work in Sicily and Tunisia, following the migratory routes of the Mediterranean, which she links poetically to the voyages of the Phoenicians, who founded trading posts all around the Mediterranean.

In her Melita series, מלט-mlṭ, Refuge, she weaves a visual narrative between the ancient routes of the Phoenicians and contemporary migratory trajectories, capturing places steeped in history in Malta, Sicily and Tunisia. Her images, poetic and engaging, question notions of refuge and displacement. Founder of the Mulhouse Photography Biennial, she teaches at the Haute école des arts du Rhin and pursues curatorial research into the forms of photographic exhibition.
