THE JUNGLE

First dismantling in Calais

September 22, 2009 - Following the closure of the Sangatte Red Cross center in November 2002, migrants gather in the Dune Zone in Calais nicknamed the Jungle. Its first dismantling was carried out by 500 gendarmes and police who empty and raze the camps. The evacuation and destruction of shelters push migrants stripped of their personal belongings to scatter and squat in the slightest covered space to survive the winter. Photographs taken after the dismantling and shaving of the Area.
