This photographic and video exhibition addresses the issues of memory and its transmission by exploring the last traces of the demarcation line of the Second World War. This internal border cut France in two, between the free zone and the occupied zone. Imposed by the Nazi diktat and accepted by Pétain, it takes us back to a shameful past. But the line is also marked by the figure of the smuggler, the escapees, the Jews, the illegal immigrants... The memory of the line is plural and complex. Yet today, the demarcation line is almost invisible. The exhibition, presented for the first time at the Archives, invites visitors to take part in an immersive experience, immersing them in a landscape and a past that are increasingly distant, echoing the issues of forgetting and the duty to remember.
