Losing the north

deals with Iraqi-Syrian territory during the period of domination of the terrorist organization Daesh over the latter. Carine Krecké's work addresses themes such as mass surveillance, war, violence, terrorism. Forensic-style methods of investigation, such as open source data analysis or geospatial intelligence, are questioned, even diverted, within the framework of documentary projects that blur the boundaries between reality and fiction, truth and lies, present and past, and even between the status of author and that of protagonist.

Carine Krecké is winner of the Luxembourg Photography Award and this book accompanies her exhibition presented at the Rencontres d'Arles 2025.
