No man’s land is a series of pictures of the Middle Eastern refugees taken by the firelight of the bonfires that they make during their trip to Europe.

The central focus of this project is the loss of identity suffered by refugees when they are forced to leave their countries. In order to explain that loss of identity, i tried to portray their faces with a little micro-movement effect. The older the person, the less the micro-movement used, due to a little loss of identity, and the younger the person, the bigger the micro-movement used, following an almost complete loss of identity.

The pictures were taken in one of the hot spots of their trip, a place dubbed by journalists as "No man’s land", located in the border between Slovenia and Austria, a no one’s place in which jurisdiction was not well defined.
