  European refugee crisis covered the issue through an individualizing gaze
  placed on the refugee subject. The refugee in suffering\, an experience w
 itnessed by us all\, as a spectacle\, from the distance: Images of crowded
  tents\, boats carrying overflowing numbers of people\, children dying on 
 Mediterranean shores. Trace turns the gaze outwards\, scrutinizing the “
 space” of the crisis in which people seek refuge.\n\nOn the one hand\, t
 here is the everyday of the “space.” The ordinary Greek island life (L
 esvos) with not much to do in the early hours of the day\, with people anc
 horing their fishing boats\, some going for a swim\, some strolling for a 
 walk.\n\nOn the other hand\, the presence of the refugees is no longer a s
 ine qua non presence. The space of the island changed from hosting refugee
 s’ presence to hosting their absence.\n\nTrace figuratively marks the ab
 sence of the refugee crisis by symbolically creating a visual topography o
 f the refugee crisis\, seen through the space containing the crisis and ju
 xtaposed to narrative accounts of people involved in the crisis.\n\nTrace 
 is an independent documentary project. It was filmed in 2017\, in the Gree
 k islands of Lesvos\, Samos and Chios\; in Athens\, Greece\; Oxford\, Unit
 ed Kingdom and Toronto\, Canada.\n
