Trails of death – The common graves of the Civil War

Transfer

A trail is a vestige, something remaining of what was once, basically, physical: ancient fortresses, walls, buildings…But they can also be footprints, of espadrilles or of animals, signs that continually become clues, marks to follow, trails that may not lead anywhere, may be lost or may lead to the desired place. With the common graves of the Civil War, strangely, the two meanings converge: they are trails due to the fact that they are vestiges, and at the same time they are trails due to the fact that they are signs.
