IDans la province canadienne du Nouveau-Brunswick, la ville de Saint John abrite la plus grande usine de pétrole du pays. Dirigée, en majorité, par une même famille milliardaire qui y emploie une large partie de la population de la région, son monopole s’étend au-delà du simple secteur économique : il influence également la sphère politique. « Dans cette ville, les quartiers les plus riches et les plus pauvres du Canada se trouvent à dix minutes en voiture l’un de l’autre.

In one image, a man pastes a clear blue sky over a wall once covered in window-like wallpaper. In another, two figures appear as silhouettes behind a bedsheet, gently lit by the soft rays of springtime sun.

“Frida Forever was never a planned project, a structured concept. It was born from a state of being: I was there, I was sick, and I was a photographer – so, I took photos,” says Frida Lisa Carstensen Jersø. At 14, the Danish artist fell over 4 meters when the railing of a bridge she was leaning on gave way. Her fall onto the asphalt broke her back and injured her spinal cord, leaving her paraplegic.

Drawing on archives, the project fuses portraiture and landscapes, blending “big” and “little” histories. It reveals the search for refuge in the joy of family celebrations, a past stitched together with red thread, and a spectral face barely visible behind smoke, transformed into a ghostly apparition. This 15th issue of The Eyes magazine takes an intimate, multifaceted approach to exile, unpacked by guest curator, Franco-Lebanese writer Sabyl Ghoussoub.

From the very first page, the scene is set: colored by a red plastic film, the torso is bare, the mustache groomed, the body posed, lascivious. A police cap firmly on his head, the man’s eyes remain in the shadows, unfathomable. Zoomed in to the point of abstraction, the portraits in Shadow Cast become pixelated to evoke “the unknown and the danger that emerges from it,” says Pacifico Silano.
