Displacement Island

Tagged: Photography
Marco Poloni’s Displacement Island is a series of photographs of the Italian island Lampedusa, the largest of the three Pelagian islands. Lampedusa is both a place of retreat and refuge; during the summer the island is a popular holiday destination while other times refugees from North Africa arrive in small fishing boats or coastguard vessels. In this book, Poloni documents all facets of the island’s identity. Displacement Island was exhibited at the Centre de la photographie, Genève in 2006. Published by Kodoji Press (Switzerland).
