In 2008, with French philosopher and urbanist Paul Virilio, Raymond Depardon devised Native Land, Stop Ejectfor the Fondation Cartier pour l’art contemporain. For that exhibition, he realized the filmHear Them Speakwith Claudine Nougaret. In this work, dealing with the question of roots and the relationship between a population and its lands, language, and history, we see nomads, farmers, islanders, and Indian expressing their attachment to their native land in their endangered mother languages.
