About Seba
For more people than ever before, home is a moveable concept, somewhere between a dream and a memory. It is this feeling that Seba Kurtis, a young Argentinean photographer, brings to his work on the reality of illegal immigration, negotiating the treacherous seas between Africa and Europe or traversing the lawless borders between Mexico and the United States. His unorthodox, multi-layered photographs are a product of his own shifting experience as a stateless individual. Kurtis uses experimental techniques and operates at the boundaries of image-making to assert both the unreliability of representation and the transient nature of experience. ‘Delta, Rashid’ is from the project ‘A Few Days More’ which is an investigation into the illegal immigrants that travel from Egypt to Europe in search of a better life.
