Imagine a world in which each individual has a fundamental right to be reborn. This idle dream haunts Hilde Van Gelder's associative travelogue that takes Allan Sekula's sequence Deep Six / Passer au bleu (1996/1998) as a touchstone for a dialogue with more recent artworks zooming in on the borderscape near the Channel Tunnel, such as those by Sylvain George and Bruno Serralongue.

Combining ethnography, visual materials, political philosophy, cultural geography, and critical analysis, Ground Sea proceeds through an innovative methodological approach. Inspired by the meandering writings of W.G. Sebald, Javier Marías, and Roland Barthes, Van Gelder develops a style both interdisciplinary and personal.

Resolutely opting for an aquatic perspective, Ground Sea offers a powerful meditation on the indifference of an increasingly divided European Union with regard to considerable numbers of persons on the move, who find themselves stranded close to Calais. The contested Strait of Dover becomes a microcosm where our present global challenges of migration, climate change, human rights, and neoliberal surveillance technology converge.

'Ground Sea' makes a significant contribution to these debates as it raises the issue of human rights and the role of photography in the ongoing violation of fundamental freedoms. Olga Smith, Focales, 7 | 2023 URL : http://journals.openedition.org/focales/2514 Hilde Van Gelder rassemble un corpus qui témoignent des conditions de survie de migrants qui nont plus rien ą perdre, qui attendent le moment opportun pour se cacher dans le chāssis dun camion rejoignant un ferry et sautomutilent pour effacer leurs empreintes digitales (p. 389-351). Son écriture procčde par la mise en relation des descriptions minutieuses des uvres, avec le récit de parcours de migrants, des observations personnelles recueillies sur les lieux de ses recherches et des réflexions nourries de différentes disciplines. La photographie est envisagée comme un médium privilégié pour évoquer le transitoire ou ce qui nest déją plus : les écosystčmes modifiés, les dangereuses traversés, les errances, les identités malmenées, le risque de disparaītre ou la construction dune vie nouvelle. Hilde Van Gelder prend résolument partie en démontrant le manque dhumanisme et la précarité dun monde qui se réconforte dans les nationalismes.- Lola Lorant, Critique dart, le 01 juin 2023, DOI : https://doi.org/10.4000/critiquedart.94779
