To narrate, animate, turn into text – photographs of refugees in El Shat from the Croatian State Archives

One of the iconic travel-related photographs was taken in 1907 by photographer Alfred Stieglitz on the deck of Kaiser Wilhelm II, a modern ship used to travel across the ocean to the USA. Starting from the narrative potential of this photograph, its animation (of the viewer) with a visual content and its transformation into a text, in the presentation I will talk about fifteen hundred photographs stored in the Croatian State Archives, which testify to the Yugoslav exile to Egypt between 1944 and 1946. Grouped in four series (invalids, cemetery, portraits and everyday life), the photographs of refugees testify of tens of thousands of people who were forced to temporarily emigrate from Dalmatia, its hinterland and islands during World War II. The fates of refugees, whose testimonies have also been documented in films, have been repeatedly discussed in articles and exhibitions. Photographs from the archives served as standard evidence of difficult living conditions, ideological and religious coexistence and other peculiarities. Yet their visual content is limited by the discourse within which the photographs were created, reduced to a phenomenological experience of being in a particular place that is permanently marked by politics, while their documentary aesthetics is completely neglected. In keeping with the theme of this conference, this paper will explore photographs of refugees through the theses of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, who conducted sociological (today we would say cultural-anthropological) research during the colonial liberation war in Algeria in the early 1950s. At that time, a large population was evicted and provided similar conditions to those in El Shat. The photographs describe the social laboratory, both those taken by Bourdieu himself and many others taken by unknown photographers in North Africa, along the Mediterranean coast, considered as the one of the largest tombs of millions of “unwilling” travellers. Among them were many people from central Dalmatia sailing through the “thick sea and its black waves”, finding in Egypt their own, fortunately short-lived, refuge.
