At La Promenade penitentiary in the town of La Chaux-de-Fonds, she encountered lives largely characterized by precarity and exile. In conversation with detainees A., G., L., M., N., N., T., and Z.; curator and art historian Federica Martini; and migration researcher Luca Gnaedeinger, she questions a concept of imprisonment seemingly intended to punish poverty rather than crime. Rasti's artistic research is based on a collaborative approach in which the inmates themselves also take pictures using pinhole cameras and engage in transcribing interviews. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The focus of Rasti's photographic investigation is on the people deprived of their freedom. Her book reflects on the correlation of prison, precarity, and migration--topics that, in the case of a prison-like La Promenade, are closely linked and of great social significance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurence Rasti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3858818941\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783858818942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scheidegger and Spiess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Laurence Rasti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46602861445375,"sku":"9783858818942","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0835239d-918a-42a0-9119-638b43e73873.jpg?v=1739695510","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wall-as-horizon-laurence-rasti-9783858818942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
