Alicia Salvador Ivorra studied translation in Spain and then, in 2022, took a master’s degree in Hispanic studies and an introductory photography workshop at the Sorbonne. It was there that she discovered the field of documentary photography. To further her practice, she began training in documentary photography and photojournalism at Emi-Cfd in Paris. Her work focuses on the human relationship with territory and questions the habitability of spaces.

“Why live on a campsite? Some people can’t find the right words and just shrug their shoulders: “I don’t know, it was a question of money, someone told me about this campsite and here I am…” As soon as the conversation becomes more intimate, biographical accidents begin to provide some answers.
There are a few families, retirees, and young people looking to spread their wings. However, most of the year-round residents are single people whose lives have been shaken by a breakup after leading a conventional existence.
I have visited three campsites in France that are open all year round: Les Trois Sources (Val d’Oise), Les Tendières (Ille-et-Vilaine), which closed in November 2024, and Le Perroquet (Nord).
The instability inherent to camping intertwines with the stories of the people who bring it to life.”
