MATHIEU PERNOT

THE ATLAS IN MOTION

The Atlas in Motion presents works Mathieu Pernot has been carrying out for over ten years with migrants to offer a new perspective on their representation. Astronomy, botany, anatomy, cartography, the history of writing and the subject of housing are all addressed in this atlas as common knowledge for humankind. Combining photography, video, manuscripts, cards and found objects, Pernot proposes a new form of narrative in which shared history is expressed through multiple voices. From Mosul to Aleppo, from Lesbos to Calais, through Paris, Atlas in Motion travels the times and places of exile and heads out to meet the people whose strength is hope.
