French photographer Sébastien Sindeu's work focuses on four European straits (Bosphorus, Gibraltar, Øresund and Pas de Calais) examining the intermingling of worlds in this area between the earth and sea. At a time when Europe faces many changes, the photographer questions the notion of the strait as passing areas, a meeting point for two seas, a separation between two countries, and as a bridge to other continents.Between the maritime world – seamen, ships and their merchandieses – and people who simply wait to reach the other side , the strait represents a symbolic place. It creates an invisible link between people and cultures. A mingling zone for protagonists, a space of movements, the strait highlights the converging ends and the differences of European identity which is bound to its maritime history. This identity, first born in the mediterranean basin, nowadays echoes in the close bonds between the northern and the southern countries. In his work, Sébastien Sindeu aims to focus on the truth about the men and women living in the straits, what unites them and what makes them differ. He attempts to give an insight of this imperceptible net which ties these true maritime gates of Europe and to present their inhabitants and their daily life.
