Publisher Note
In the summer of 2022, Raymond Meeks followed the refugees passing along the rivers, through the forests and wastelands of southern Spain to the northern French coast near Calais.
The Inhabitants does not show the migrants but the obstacles they encounter on their path, the traces left by their passage, the ruins of their ephemeral camps and the nature which sheltered them. Raymond Meeks thus achieves a tour de force: that of evoking, with modesty and delicacy, a subject as important and contemporary as that of migration.
Accompanied by the sensory poetry of George Weld, The Inhabitants is inhabited, implicitly, by the fleeting presence of these stowaways and constitutes a moving metaphor of the displacement of those who are deprived of the possibility of inhabiting.
