Description
WHAT DOES MIGRATION MEAN FOR THOSE, WHO STAY BEHIND?
Louise Amelie: Missing Member is a documentary photo series that serves as an artistic exploration of the global phenomenon of migration and its many facets, which are often ignored in European migration politics. Migration has always been an integral part of human experience and will continue to be. Yet in public discourse, it is presented as an aberration, while the existence of nation-state borders is hardly ever questioned.
On the globe, Kyrgyzstan nestles inconspicuously next to Kazakhstan and China, but on the ground, the vastness and heights of the mountains seem endless. In contrast to the natural beauty, prefabricated housing estates spring up in the capital, Bishkek. Here lives a young population that, despite all the adversities of post-Soviet reality, faces the world with great confidence.
In a collection of portraying texts and photographs that foreground the individual stories, the book is an expression of solidarity and empathy, and shows that migration can mean both an opportunity as well as the painful loss of a beloved Missing Member.
