'Perdre le nord / Losing North' centres on the Iraqo-Syrian region during the period of Daesh’s control. Carine Krecké explores themes of mass surveillance, war, violence, and terrorism. Her work uses - and at times subverts - forensic-style investigative techniques such as open-source data analysis and geospatial intelligence. These documentary projects blur the boundaries between fact and fiction, truth and falsehood, past and present, and even between author and protagonist. Krecké’s investigations span several years, involving the creation of complex archives, especially maps. To translate technical data into an artistic language, she works across diverse media, from visual art to literature.
