Entering Europe



The ramshackle little boat carrying photographer Joël van Houdt and 28 illegal immigrants just managed to complete its crossing from Morocco to the Spanish island of Lanzarote. Van Houdt has produced a penetrating photo report on the experiences of one Moroccan, called Mohamed, as he tries to escape what he sees as a dead-end life in his native land and seek a future in Europe. This summer’s exhibition of photos at Gemak shows the preparations, the unsuccessful attempts, the final crossing and Mohamed’s arrest immediately on arrival.
