‘Native Land’ explores people’s attachment to their countries, and the planet’s role in forming one’s identity, as well as the paths and consequences of human migrations.

These issues are explored by Raymond Depardon, director and photographer, and Paul Virilio, urban planner and philosopher.

The book features photographs and movie stills, multi-screen installations and press articles, while the subjects discussed range from Tuvaluans forced to leave their Pacific island, to a human cannonball who catapults himself over the US-Mexico border.
