Thinking with the border - Sophie Djigo is a field philosopher. Caught up by
news from the Franco-British border, not far from which she
teaches philosophy, conducts surveys among people in exile,
Calais, London but also Paris – La Chapelle and Brussels. \n \nBastien
Deschamps is a traveling photographer. Since 2015, he has taken to the road and
devotes himself to photography full time. He claims his practice of
photography as a geopoetics by addressing social issues through
the prism of raw feeling. \n \nThrough their words and images, Sophie
Djigo and Bastien Deschamps offer us a glimpse of what is happening at
borders of Europe by focusing their gaze along the Evros River which
separates Turkey and Greece. They invite us together to think with the
border. Crossing the river then means experiencing the finer nuances
from reality to the borders, where a whole series of paradoxes are tied together, including the
philosophy attempts to account for this by readjusting thought to reality.
