Fatima Kaci

A summer on an island of leisure in the Paris region. Land of Adventures, dredge and transgression for some, place of refuge and escape for the other. Its pay range to its hidden nooks, the exploration of a Kingdom of childhood, in resonance with the bustle of the world.

Rim, a Tunisian woman, works in France as an interpreter for asylum-seekers. Every day, she translates the stories of exiled men and women whose voices question her own history.

Relegated to the middle of an industrial zone in the suburbs, the Muslim cemetery of Bobigny dates back to the colonial era. Fatima Kaci makes it the set of encounters, rituals, voices and presences of its visitors. Fragments of a common memory between France and Algeria erupt from the spoken dialogues and within the hollow of the silences.
