Marseille

Project summary

What's the link between seal, archaeology, mermaid, migration, petrochemistry, invasive species, Marseille, jellyfish, microplastic and the city of Phocée in Turkey? This is what Camille Goujon, visual artist and film-maker, will discover during her residency by meeting a variety of people: archaeologist to fisherman, ecologist and migrant association. These interviews will be cross-referenced with other encounters on the other side of the Mediterranean: in Marseille, founded by the Phocaeans in the 6th century BC. Phocée owes its name to the seal, that gave rise to the Greek myth of the mermaids, whose songs have been sinking migrants in the Mediterranean for centuries. These stories will become an animated film that seeks to understand the ecology of human and animal migrations.
