EUROPA? by Chris Burkham

`EUROPA?' is a collaboration between a Spanish photographer and a British writer; combining photography and fiction to examine the experiences of modern European migrants. Ignacio Evangelista's haunting photographic series `After Schengen' shows abandoned and disused European border crossings following 1985's Schengen Agreement. writer Chris Burkham saw these photos in the UK's Independent on Sunday newspaper, and the result is `EUROPA?'; a hybrid collection of images and fiction. Burkham's short stories ask who makes these journeys after-Schengen - and peoples Evangelista's images with characters and their narratives that explore possibility, fear, hope and unease; playing on the notion of perpetual flux that is a central part of the European experiment.
