Ten Thousands+ Kilometers Views
Taking part in a human and sporting adventure, we travelled over eleven thousand kilometres of roads and paths long forgotten by Western eyes, contributing to a joint effort led by the Europ’raid organization and supported by numerous associations, aimed at promoting and facilitating (re)schooling initiatives across Europe. It was also a perfect pretext to carry out a photographic project linking the most dissident spaces of our continent.
Twenty countries in twenty-two days, mapping out a five-million-square-kilometre area, avoiding all highways to allow for every backroad—those that alone can reveal the forsaken corners of industrial towns, or the urban landscapes shaped by overtourism; fragments of seaside or authoritarian architecture; settings of Renaissance grandeur or places of worship precariously perched on the highest rocks.
Archiraid is a dual project—first and foremost, one of solidarity and sport—but it is also the time of a singular exploration, far from any ordinary journey, evolving into a photographic, artistic, and documentary project about a Europe that has been turned away from, yet still bears the built traces—alive or dead—of a past rich in layered narratives.
These narratives—constructed, urbanized, or in ruins—we have tried to gather in a photographic series, an excerpt of which follows here.
